oh, that's great, it was almost five years ago somebody else asked,
A Marxist can easily explain why the forces of reaction might theoretically control newspapers, magazines, the TV networks, radio, and even the greeting-card industry. But why is the blogosphere so dominated by conservatives and their fellow travelers, libertarians?
i helpfully wrote in suggesting that conservatives and corporate libertarians were much more widely represented on the internet than they were in reality. something about pure debate, unalloyed by data or results, appeals to both of them.
