That Guido Fawkes got such a rating doesn't say much for your readership Iain! And the more reputable ConHome isnt really a blog anymore.
That Recess won left of centre says even less for the leftwing blogosphere!
How exactly are these "awards" rather than a bloggers' survey results?

So basically any prat who puts finger to keyboard can be a top Labour or Liberal Blogger whereas on the right unless you are virtually full time you have no chance.

Explains a lot

Nich Starling said...

Thank you Mr Newmania !

Alternatively, the right-wing blogosphere is much more comfortable looking up to authority figures? Just a thought...

Fawkes is fake who has banned me from commenting, just because he could not get the better of me and my superior itelect. Plus he was rave organizer what a disgrace. And he is a tory stooge. Atleast you own up to what you are. He pretends to be a neutral. Cover blown.
Anyway what about worst blog of the yeart award. I am preapred to vounteer for that award. But i want other candidates.
