4/10/2003 12:30:00 AM | Timothy The Filibuster is Dissed! Ok, I know the daily paper at Dartmouth seems to avoid like the plague mentions of other campus publications like The Review and The Free Press. But they do mention it occasionally, such as printing a letter to the editor complaining about a racist statement on dartlog. They can claim their excuse is that other publications are not news. But things at Columbia are ridiculous. Columbia Political Review's blog The Filibuster has lately been tearing up the blogosphere. Ghe granddaddy of the blogs, instapundit, linked to them multiple times, calling them De Genova central, and the best lefty group blog, period. That's high praise! Yet today, the Columbia Daily Spectator prints this story on blogs without mentioning the filibuster or really any other student political blogs! (link from this Columbia blogger, via SpecAlert) How pathetic. And how pathetic a story too. I can understand not writing about blogs, but if you were to write about blogs at Columbia now, you had to mention the Filibuster. Again, pathetic and deserving of criticism. Are we supposed to believe the Spectator's reporters are that imcompetant? If I were a leftist group, I would use this as a prime exhibit for how the Spectator's agenda shapes and skews its coverage. (Of course, a leftist group likely would not want to take up the cause of the filibuster, and Columbia Political Review editor Adam Kushner would not likely want to see the blog not being mentioned used to bash the Spectator! Heh. By the way, no jokes from Dartmouth people about how I already am a 'leftist group' unto myself.) perma link |
