Washington Post Editor Falsely Claims Conservatives ‘Have An Edge In Use Of New Media’
Washington Post political editor John F. Harris and ABC News political director Mark Halperin have written a new and much-touted book entitled The Way To Win, which includes the chapter “How Matt Drudge Rules Our World.” Today Harris wrote a front page analysis of the influence of the “new media” in politics. One of the story’s headlines in the print edition:
Some examples of the “new” media Harris cites:
1. Conservative talk radio, such as Rush Limbaugh (on air since 1988).
2. Internet sites, such as The Drudge Report (started in 1994).
3. Cable news networks, such as Fox News (which is celebrating its 10th birthday today).
Some examples of the real new media Harris completely ignores:
1. Blogs
2. YouTube
3. Podcasts
4. Social networking sites (Myspace, Facebook)
5. Social news sites (Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us)
In the introduction, Harris cites the Foley scandal, Sen. George Allen’s (R-VA) “macaca” debacle, and President Bill Clinton’s recent interview on Fox News as examples of the new media’s success in breaking and shaping stories before “charging into the traditional world of newspapers and television networks.”
All three “uproars” named by Harris were mainly driven — and sometimes broken — by liberal blogs. Harris, however, uses the word “blog” just once — when referring to conservative Hugh Hewitt’s dual role as a blogger and radio host.
Conservatives don’t have the edge in the real new media. According to Technorati.com, there are four liberal blogs in the top 25 blogs, but just one right-wing blog. (Fortunately, others reporters have noticed the increasing role of the real new media: see here, here, and here)
John Harris, welcome to the 21st century.

The Republican propaganda machine FOX regularly has Democratic guests and has permanent “Democratic” anchors which provides the illusion of balance. That’s what I call an advantage.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:36 pmSorry think progress but conservatives OWN new media. Radio alone eclipses our efforts.
Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and whisper into the ears of 10s of millions of Americans everyday. You don’t need a computer to listen to them. Blue collar, white collar, unemployed, etc. no matter what you are plugged into the right wing network.
It is seriously arrogent to believe our advantages with youtube and facebook even compare with the vast right wing communications machine.
Blogs and the NY Times and the Wash Post and all these news sources reach barely anyone (I believe the Post has less than 1mil readers…)
October 6th, 2006 at 2:38 pmsure does take the steam out of that “liberal media” conspiracy theory, doesn’t it now?
October 6th, 2006 at 2:38 pmI think the point being made in the article is that Dem office holders haven’t been as good at using the new media as their Republican counterparts.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:38 pmWhen did RADIO become “New Media”???
October 6th, 2006 at 2:39 pmWashington Post npolitical editor John F. Harris and ABC News political director Mark Halperin recently wrote a new and much-touted book entitled The Way To Win, in which they write a chapter called “How Matt Drudge Rules Our World.â€
Jeez, two more closeted gay republicans….how many are there?
October 6th, 2006 at 2:39 pmDoes DIEBOLD count as New Media?
October 6th, 2006 at 2:40 pm#2 – The article doesn’t address the conservatives owning the media, but rather how effective they are at shaping and driving a story.
If you look at the three specific examples Harris cites in his opening — those were all liberal media-driven stories.
And what’s so new about talk radio?
October 6th, 2006 at 2:41 pmWhen did RADIO become “New Media�??
Comment by Mugsy — October 6, 2006 @ 2:39 pm
That form of New Media was a crucial factor in electing Harding.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:43 pmLook Right-wingers, either George Soros is manipulating all media or he isn’t manipulating any. You can’t have it both ways.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:46 pmNow that they have mastered the “internet tubes” they will be unstoppable!!
October 6th, 2006 at 2:49 pmTalk radio, 24 hour news and the internet tubes are new? Welcom to the 1990’s. Hey, have you guys heard of this band called Nirvana?
October 6th, 2006 at 2:49 pmBoneheads! Oh well, remember the dinosaurs probably took little notice of those furry little creatures running around their feet…
October 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pmSorry – TP – have to disagree with you. The rightwing owns the airwaves!
October 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pmSoros should have bought a TV station.
the way the right wing network uses radio is new media. they all act in unison, spewing the same talking points and attacking democrats in the same fashion. liberals DONT USE RADIO for the most part. radio was invented a long time ago, but its been utilized in the last 15 years in america like it has never has been before
October 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pmthe operative word in there view point is “seems”. Just like Iraq “seems” to be safer. It “seems” that we are winning the war on terror. Republican “seem” to have higher morals. Macaca didn’t “seem” to be an insult. He “seemed” older than 16.
perception “seems” to depend if your party has to depend on deception to survive.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pmRepublicans also have an edge on lying, covering up, earmarks, lying, spending, cutting services, lying, bragging, starting wars, lying, violating the constitution, lying, abandoning hurricane victims, lying, dividing Americans, lying, sexual harassment of minors, lying, spreading false rumors, lying, rigging elections, lying, corruption, racism, lying.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:53 pmI could go on, but I believe you get the picture.
The Drudge Report is meaningless. Maybe it was something special back in ‘94, but now it’s completely irrelevant.
You would think that the website would have been spruced up a little since ‘94 too, but like so many right-winger websites, looks like it was made by a 10 year old.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:55 pmI live in Atlanta and can pick from three different talk radio stations that broadcast right-wing radio all the time. Another station broadcasts right-wing talk half of the time.
Franken is the only left-wing talk in Atlanta.
Sorry Think Progress. You’re wrong on this one.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:55 pm#2 “…conservatives OWN new media. Radio alone eclipses our efforts.”
Thanks for the update, Marconi.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:55 pmIf she’s so keen on “new media,” why not sell her book as an e-book or a podcast. That’s like running a newspaper headline that reads, “TV News is Much Better Than Newspapers”? Who cares if Drudge rules her world? I’m not going to pretend the left is entirely innocent of the same, but does anyone else find the hero-worship the right practices a little creepy? I can’t think of one secular-progressive (that’s the new buzzword this fall isn’t it?) that I blindly agree with on every single issue.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:56 pmDon’t forget the online political forums and bulletin boards. I post on them almost every day. It’s amazing how many different points of view there are on a single issue. You can actually learn alot when you step outside of the echo chamber.
What I can’t understand it how people can fall in love with ONE person’s narrow point of view and swallow everything they say. Example, Rush. 3 hours, no guests, no alternative points of view. How can anybody listen to the nitwit bloviate the entire time. And the commercials every 2 and half minutes….new media…yeah right.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:01 pmI think the appropriate comment would be, welcome to 1996, John Harris. Unfortunately, its 2006. Times have changed, and in case you were wondering, Bill Clinton is no longer President.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:03 pmSo, why all the fuss about the “liberal media bias” then if they are owning this new wave?

October 6th, 2006 at 3:05 pmGOP HAS EDGE…
Only a short time ago, when Air America was launched, Limpballs claimed he and the GOP had Talk Radio cornered as their own and Air America would not survive because nobody wanted to hear the Liberals.
Now they only have an edge. Could it be because people are sick of listening to Limpballs, Al Rantel, Hannity, Drudge and the other cadre of NeoCon spoke-holes.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:08 pmbush gang plan: Say anything, lie,BS, infer,twist, hack voting machines,emty braging ..but guess what…..it’s NOT working.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:13 pmSounds like the consensus is that conservatives dominate the radio but radio isn’t meant to be news, it’s always been more opinion than objective information. I mean has Rush ever said he wasn’t biased towards the Republican party? Newspapers on the other hand endrose Democratic candidates all the time, but somehow people label newspapers as unbiased news. The hypocrisy.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:14 pmLot of gay bashing on this site.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:15 pmThey definately have the “edge” in talk radio. I guess the “false claim” depends on what you define as “new” media.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:17 pmCan we put Murdoch and Soros in a cage match? Whoever wins owns all media and then we’ll all be clear on whether its the “liberal media” or “right wing media.”
October 6th, 2006 at 3:17 pmtheir book is too little too late, the ‘moral majority’ claim has been demolished and so goes 90% of the neo-con pundit media arguments and opinions!
bwahhhaahhahahahaha!
October 6th, 2006 at 3:18 pm28 “Newspapers on the other hand endrose Democratic candidates ”
I live in a very liberal city and our local paper ALWAYS endorses Republicans and carries almost exclusively right wing editorials. It boggles the mind. Yet every conservative I know calls the paper a left-wing rag. How can it be both ways? Just because you glace over a political cartoon you disagree with doesn’t mean the paper that carries it leans that way. (I guess all they read are the cartoons)
October 6th, 2006 at 3:19 pmI’m just sick and tired of both sides of the aisle trotting this out whenever a newspaper or TV news program disagrees with their point of view. Both sides are guilty. As proof, I submit the left’s outrage over Path to 9/11 just last month (on ABC) followed by the right claiming the liberal media is fanning the Foley fire (on ABC nonetheless).
October 6th, 2006 at 3:21 pmbwahahahaaaa!
The neo-con Murdoch Newscorp [FOX news] profits from pornography!
Another rung taken out of these amoral FOX hypcorites Faux morals.
No wonder BORe is a falafel pervert, Limbaugh a drug addict and Anne Coulter a plagiarist.
They are devils cloaked in the book of the Good Lord, they are the anti-christ administration!
October 6th, 2006 at 3:23 pmAh, something the trolls can sink their teeth into. Thanks, Amanda.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:24 pmLook Right-wingers, either George Soros is manipulating all media or he isn’t manipulating any. You can’t have it both ways.

October 6th, 2006 at 3:29 pmO’Reilly has liberals on his show all the time. And he crushes them.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:31 pmKevin, I thought you might comment on this one. Your previous posts seem to indicate a concern for freedom of speech. Do you have an opinion of whether it’s a”liberal media” or “right wing media?” Seems to me, whoever is getting the negative publicity is the one shouting media conspiracy.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:32 pmBecause they are brainwashed. like Kevin by the new-speak!
Did you just see my last post?
The neo-con media is not what it claims, it is a smokescreen!
But (D-FL) Kevin, (R-FL) Newscorp [FOX] Rightwing Media is neo-libertine, read above!l
bwahahahaa!
But yes keep watching libertine O’reilly by all means then (D-FL) Kevin!!
Bwahaha!
October 6th, 2006 at 3:33 pmThe right wing machine has one strategy. Lie until it becomes the “truth”. Period
Recipe goes like this.
lie fact lie fact lie fact lie fact …liefact…..liefact…..liefact……factlie…….factlie……actflie
it all equals = ?
or……..when sufficient confusion is established…..do what the hell you want and call it whatever suits.
Garnish with a self satisfied, right wing chuckle
October 6th, 2006 at 3:34 pmIt WAS neat watching o’Reilly trash those religious nutcases who protest funerals…Almost as if he was saying”Look!Look! see, THOSE are some crazy-a$$ right wing loonies!-I’m not so bad.”

October 6th, 2006 at 3:38 pm1. Kevin, I thought you might comment on this one. Your previous
Don’t get me wrong. I love that people are talking. I even like this type of form because you do see what other people think and feel. I am a conservative/libertarian. I think everyone is entitled to say what they think. And of course the media is going to have it’s individual bias. And you know what. That’s ok.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:40 pmOctober 6th, 2006 at 3:41 pm
Bwahhha!
Poll after Poll show that people THINK that the media is ‘liberal’.
Polls do not SHOW who owns the media.
I have just showed you that Murdoch porno!! Bwahahhahhaa!!
Bwahhaha!! Fact? Where? I have disproved you before you even posted this myth!!
See my post about (R-FL)Rupert Murdoch and his porno profits! And Yes Rupert is a neo-conservative!!
Bwahahaaa
October 6th, 2006 at 3:49 pmHypocrites-(R-FL)-US
The new GrOPe bumber sticker!
I have to agree that newspapers used to be more left-leaning than right-leaning.
Personally, I used to put it down to newspaper people being more educated and informed.
But, alas, those were the good ol’ days. Before the right-wing bought up most of the media outlets and turned the sheeple into consumers garbage like American Idol and that foul-mouthed mental case Rush-what’s-his-name. He spews garbage and hate and ignorance. Can you say, “You are what you eat”?
October 6th, 2006 at 3:50 pmwhatgreatliesthelefttells, but does being a Democrat require that one would bias their journalsim to favor that view? I’m not necessarily arguing, I’m asking a question. How would one obtain a truly balanced media, hire people who can separate their politics from their reporting or enact de facto affirmative action to hire equally from both parties. Ultimately, the media has always been a business. A business based upon advertising which is priced based upon how many eyes/ears it will reach. So what happens when, say, a newspaper has a story to break. Do they worry about irking a mjority of the population, or do they run the story because the truth has to be told? I know what I want the answer of that question to be, I just hope most editors would pick the same thing.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:52 pmNope. I live in a liberal city surrounded by a sea of rednecks. In the 2nd biggest state in the U.S. Where am I?
October 6th, 2006 at 3:52 pmHi all you lovely Liberals,
Wanna see the right truth….Knock yourself out…THE ONLY THRUTH…Right Here!
http://www.homestead.com/prosites-prs/
October 6th, 2006 at 3:57 pmThanks Kevin and whatgreatliesthelefttells for mature responses. This “liberal media” thing intrigues me because I’m just not sure where it comes from. Redstate.com has plenty of choice words for the liberal media while this site lampoons Murdoch’s empire and the talk radio guys. An just as an aside, I don’t thing anyone can debate that the right dominate the talk radio airwaves. Is there too little demand for liberal radio? Do liberals prefer to get their information in blog format. I guess I do, I visit plenty of blogs, but only listen to sports talk radio.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:57 pmBias in newspapers can be displayed in a number of ways outside the opinion pages:
-note the location of damaging stories (front versus backpage)
October 6th, 2006 at 4:01 pm-look the photographs (The Boston Globe is my favorite)
- then there is the writing (much more subtle)
Thank you for the complement oxillini

October 6th, 2006 at 4:16 pm#42 – what’s he crush’em with Kev? – the heels on his sexy women’s shoes??
October 6th, 2006 at 4:18 pmRepublicans think FM radio is a new technology. These are the same morons that think the “Internets” is a “series of tubes.” It has been shown time and again that Democratic voters tend to have more education and this is proof yet again.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:19 pm#42: by “crushes” you must mean “talks over, then hangs up on.”
October 6th, 2006 at 4:21 pmName one of those “Media” outlets mentioned above that allows all or any of it’s customers feedback to be printed , you know in writing, with a signature. It’s the one side of the fence, letters to the editor kind of thing. Of course that is so perfect for the GOP, once you define a statement, repeat and believe it. #13’s Calscientist’s comment is the perfect metaphor, beyond, especially for newsprint related delivery vehicles and the stooges that cling on like ludites.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:26 pmWell, see you later. Looks like any real discussion is over.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:47 pmThe three GOP media, at the top, are all one-way. The message comes to you and you read it.
The five Democratically dominated media in the second list are open content media. No wonder we win there.
No wonder Red State is a dwarf.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:48 pm.
Just this sentence,
‘which includes the chapter “How Matt Drudge Rules Our World.‒ makes me suspicious about this book.
I mean, he sure doesn’t rule MY world. I’ve always avoided that site (it is a web site, right?) because it sounds like so much nonsense comes out of it.
Why eat the food when you know it’ll make you sick?
October 6th, 2006 at 4:53 pmDean and Kerry raised truck-loads of money in ‘04 using the internets and all their tubes. Does that count as making use of the “new media”?
October 6th, 2006 at 5:00 pmThe LA Times’ editor is fired, but this nitwit still has a job? Oh brother.
October 6th, 2006 at 5:10 pmI don’t know if the GOP has the edge re: using the new media or not but they sure do have the edge in using the media in general!
Us progressives have been nice for long enough. Time to take the gloves off. Let’s keep it above the belt but let’s sock it to ‘em!
October 6th, 2006 at 5:20 pmRead again. Never said anything about a liberal bias.
Unfortunately for Kevin, the media’s personal views are more CONSERVATIVE than LIBERAL.
October 6th, 2006 at 5:25 pm
Now Kevin – that’s just not the way to engage someone in intelligent debate!
If you were really and truly interested in debate, let alone what Democrats plan to do when they win in November, you would not have used the words “LOONY LEFT”!
But since you did use the word “loony”…..know what I think is loony? People voting for the bunch of liars we are currently burdened with who are bringing the country down piece by piece – TWICE!
Now that’s “loony”! Don’t you agree?
October 6th, 2006 at 5:47 pmI appologize for the “LOONY LEFT” comment.
What do you want from Washington?
October 6th, 2006 at 5:50 pmI want the troops home as soon as possible (a year max).
I want transparency to come back to OUR government.
I want no more tax money going to Halliburton, Bechtel or the Carlyle Group.
I want real planning for the eco-challenges coming.
I want diplomacy to come back into our national vocabulary.
I want border enforcement.
How’s that for appetizers?
How about you?
October 6th, 2006 at 5:56 pmThis is what I want from Washington:
October 6th, 2006 at 6:11 pm1. Secure boarder and immigration control. Stiff fines for employers knowingly hiring undocumented workers. Deportation of illegal aliens as soon as they are discovered. Well guarded and maintained boarder.
2. Less government spending. More personal reasonability.
3. The Fair Tax would give you the transparency.
4. The troops home after the job is done. The Islamic Radicals must be stopped. The only way to do that is total victory. I’m not against diplomacy, but I don’t see how you negotiate with people that the first thing they want is the destruction of the US.
5. A new political party. The ones we have need to go.
6. I do not want a government run health care system.
7. I do not want to stop abortion but I do not one dollar of tax money paying for it.
8. I want eminent domain to go away.
In the big picture, still in this day and age, not everyone has a computer, internet, or access to either. That leaves radio and tv. The liberals HAD a radio talk show that failed. WHY? as much hate mail, and fou mouthed vulgarities as I see lobbed around here you would think there would be millions of liberal listeners. There wasn’t, and because ot that, Air America, (Which btw has had issues with donations being routed improperly, and other improprieties), is in bankruptcy. Nobody wasnts to advetise, because they couldn’t get enough listeners to make it worthwhile.
Why?
Maybe because instead of offering solutions, all they could do is badmouth, put down, name call, and belittle others. You cannot expect to gather listeners, without discussing items open to all. Even Hannity/limbaugh/Boortz discuss with people in all groups, and have even agreed on more than one occasion with an opposing view.
I tuned into air america 1 time. I heard more foul, abusive, denigrating, sophmoric, and vulger words and comments in 1 hour than I ever all three conservative commentators use in a month.
October 6th, 2006 at 6:47 pm“Even Hannity/limbaugh/Boortz discuss with people in all groups, and have even agreed on more than one occasion with an opposing view. ” Douglas G.
LOL! Discussing with people of all groups, funny stuff. Good one Doug!
October 6th, 2006 at 7:02 pmTP Claim:
Conservatives don’t have the edge in the real new media.
False. Compare Drudge to so called liberal “popular blogs” (right up there with gadget blogs. lol.) like huffington and thnkprogress. Libs are getting killed by Drudge. Lib blogs are definitely getting hammered by conseratives in the new media.
Another liberal myth debunked.

October 6th, 2006 at 7:46 pmI think if you look at the lemming mentality of , excuse me, the comfortable level of agreement that the right traditionally has with it’s authentic or party approved media vs that similar apparatus of the left it doesn’t matter what the vehicle is, the opined delivery of facts comes from a trusted dogmatic source that from the rights’ view is gospel and the left’s it’s debatable. Just look at the early bumper stickers for Lord Oxyctoin of 9k withdrawals, Rush is Right. That’s right up there with the Bible says it, so t I beleive it. The left is reactionary in most parts due to the Right’s exact unquestioning ecuminical if you will, acceptance of their infallible leaders polluted dogma.

Comment by Hippie with a pistol
Next time, when you post a refutation, it would be more convincing if your links actually work. Just a suggestion.
October 6th, 2006 at 9:16 pmDouglas G: You listened to Air America 1 time and you are qualified to judge them?
After listening to liar Rush since the early 90’s; liar Hannity since 2001; distorter Medved since 2001; and on and on; I am astounded at how the arrogance of power has corrupted them and made them into lazy liars.
Air America speaks the TRUTH.
You go on and be a good German.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:58 pm#98: It was hilarious to hear Drudge on Thursday put out the “spin” on the “prank page” email to Foley and have Rush and Medved gobble it up like this whole affair was “busted”, when this was only ONE drop of water in a dam break.
Drudge is a distorter of facts; a Republican shill; therefore he cannot “kill” a truth-speaker.
Likewise, the conservative blogs do not deal in the truth; they deal in spin; they are to be dismissed as the cynical liars they are.
October 7th, 2006 at 12:20 amThe nazi gay pedophile torturer republicans own all regular media{TV/Print} except for the REAL new media THE Internet.That’s why they want to control the internet and are trying to contain it and make money selling ownership.
October 7th, 2006 at 12:41 amAt the same time, many wing-o nutcases, for all I know including these two, blame the mean and uncivil bloggers for the troubles of that nice Mr. Lieberman.
Cognitive dissonance. Like Schoenberg on acid.
On the other hand if they want to ignore the importance of sites like this one, it is all to our advantage.

Huh?
October 7th, 2006 at 10:55 pm’tis a fine line between use and abuse
October 8th, 2006 at 1:26 amI think this whole discussion misses the point on bias in the media. Rush, Air America and a whole slew of media outlets never said they were objective reporters of news. But there are a variety of news sources that have bias that pretend to be objective.
