The power of blogs
I can’t seem to turn on the TV without seeing a blogger. And bloggers are also breaking stories and fact checking the media. However, here’s a new one. It seems Pete and his DrugWarRant (a blog you should be reading) are at the center of a heated Illinois House race:
Speaking of smears, Weller, in the closing days of the campaign, is running a radio ad and sending out a direct mail piece noting that Renner is endorsed on a Web site called “DrugwarRant.com” and implying that Renner is somehow aligned with a group promoting heroin use. The race is featured on the site, but Renner is not for what they are for and told me he never asked for their help. Said Renner, this is “as low as it’s gotten.”
The problem with that, as Pete puts it, is that he is not a group and he doesn’t promote heroin use. Jerry Weller is a liar.
