Can anyone tell me any stories they've broken? Has anyone ever read anything on the Huffpo that they felt like quoting later? That changed their views in any way? I have trouble imagining this.
This article keeps getting weirder. Michelle Malkin is not very influential among conservatives -- Glenn Reynolds or the Powerline guys or the LGF guys have done a lot more to shape conservatives' web presence. Samizdata should rank below them. I don't see Lew Rockwell or Brussels Journal, who have both gotten far-right fringes (anarcho-capitalists and anti-EU isolationists) a lot more attention.
Also, no business blogs? No economics blogs? To the extent that valueinvestorsclub.com is a blog, it's more influential than all of these put together, since it's caused measurable multi-million dollar changes in stock and bond valuations. And no peak oil blogs? Where would peak oil be without blogs? How many people routinely chat with petroleum geologists?
