You can't tell me that the blogosphere, in particular Kos and Atrios, don't greatly affect the content of Air America, Krugman, Olbermann and, say, the Daily Show.

Fact is, a right-wing show can listen to 500 or so other right-wing shows for "message of the day" in addition to the blogosphere.

A left-wing show (or one that listens to l-wing issues, like Olbermann) has much less to fall back on concerning "message of the day" or "outrage of the day".

I guess my point is that the left-wing blogosphere is much more influential and crucial to their side right now, largely because there isn't anything else.  Are right-wing blogs influential?  Sure (particularly if you include Drudge, which I don't, b/c it ain't a blog).  But certainly not indispensable or nearly as influential.

PS:  The Air America article in today's WSJ is critical.  Wonder why Drudge didn't link to it....
