all of this is begging the question of how the blogosphere gotcha discourse sets agenda for news judgment....i think that while monitoring hits is one way of keeping tabs on trends and fads, it is also very much contributing to the feeding frenzy pack news coverage. this, i believe, helps create the radio soundbite political agendas fascists batten upon, helps create the NCPAC/terry dolan/single-issue voter turnout contests which are political agendas foreign to everyone and against the interests of all voters, which fatally limits the political agendas of both parties such that the plurality does not turn out to vote, and ignores the modest and progressive political goals of the vast majority of constituencies.
