Just a part of Wizbang's response in comments here:
So, I've read your rant, it made no sense and you were demonstrably clueless. Now if you have a point, I'll entertain it, but so far all I've heard you do is whine because I'm conservative.
Gee, it seems if you point out where Wizbang is wrong you must be clueless and liberal. LOL As for politics, I am probably to the right of most of the Wizbang writers - talk about clueless. I mean, this blog did start as the Carnivorous Conservative if I'm not mistaken. ; ) I suppose they only have one canned response to any critique - really only effective for attacks from the left, as opposed to someone who simply cares about the truth.
Wizbang started an anti-NY T's meme that resulted in 11 inbound links and 5 additional to Malkin who also picked it up. And "accountability" for starting that misleading thread amounts to - "you're clueless and liberal."
Great! Let's all drink a toast to New Media for its integrity and self corrective aspects! BS. What concerns me is that Wizbang doesn't appear to even understand what THEY posted, let alone a reasonable critique of its misleading nature and unfounded casting of aspersions.
I'd love to see the Times taken down a notch or two. But an incessant crying of Wolf like the original Wizbang post only arms the Left and the MSM with the ability to characterize blogger criticism as more of the same unfounded right wing ranting. That hardly furthers the cause of the new media, or serious bloggers, if you will.

One blog may not correct itself, but another may do it for them.
Pride and the difficulty in admitting a mistake are human shortcomings that have no connection to occupation or whether one blogs or not.

What the hell, I'll drink to anything. Has anybody noticed Wizbang's, or any other of the bigs, for that matter, stellar coverage of the Terri Schiavo case?

My personal opinion of CheeseWiz bang, falls somewhere along the lines of Instafundit, Althoser, Milkin and Little Greenback Fooseballs; it's all gone to their heads. In D'Sea is master of puppets, or so he'd rather fashion himself to be. Dan, on the other hand, is my kinda guy. He pulls no punches and tells it like it is; take it or leave it. He does, however have a serious problem with lawn tools. (Mine! Mine! Mine! Bwoohahahahahaha!)
I find what Dan has found to be thoroughly spot on insofar as bigtime bloggers are concerned. Is their opinion really THAT much more important than anyone else'? I think not. CheeseWiz bang, et al, were not much of anything until they jumped on the HighVoltageline bandwagon over the Bush TANG documents. Dan at least presents ORIGINAL content without the CheeseWiz bang hyperbole. Don't screw with this man...none of you are above a persistent DOS...Bwoohahahahahaha...

Paul,
Can you not read? Nowhere did I whine that you are conservative. I complained that unfounded attacks on the left from ANY conservative undermine justified attacks when they occur. And when they occur, I am as in the mix as any conservative. That is a far cry from complaining that you are a conservative. You might make that connection in your mind, but it has no basis in anything I have written.
