Are blogs libertarian?
In my recent posting about blogs and Google, I wrote that one of the benefits of blogs is that they give readers viewpoints not seen in mainstream media, with the legalization of drugs (a libertarian position) the example I used.
Today I came across an old article at Salon about blogs and their positive influence on Google searach results (see Use the blog, Luke). The author wrote:
There are significant political consequences to the Blogger Effect: Because the blogging community contains a disproportionate number of libertarians, it's possible that Google searches on certain hot-button issues will start skewing toward libertarian-friendly pages. Given Google's increasing prominence, this libertarian slant could prove to be more significant than the more familiar concerns about liberal bias in the major networks, and conservative bias on Fox News.
Well I say that's a good thing because libertarian views have been completely ignored by the mainstream media.
