Blog Politics
There's been some recent blather involving a dem senatorial primary and which bloggers are getting paid by which candidates. Since following politics in Ohio is basically rubbernecking, I'll spare you the details.

I do want to share DemocracyGuy's assessment of the scandal.
Folks, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. The flavor of the day is payola. It's a strong blend of hypocrisy, greed, and opportunism, fed by the fawning naivete of people who have no idea they're being taken to the cleaners.
Blogs? Meet the New Media, same as the old media.

I want to know who is paying YOU. And if no one is, Why not???? - Wanting my cut in SLC

The word "payola" goes back at least to the 1950s when DJs (including Jack the Bellboy, who had an on-air contest to name his daughter)were paid off to play certain records. - old WJBK listener
