Media swipes at DU - attempts to drive high profile dems away? [View All]

I can't think of any other reason they would be doing this. Do they really expect they can damage our "credibility" with press releases? It's not like we're even an information source - we're a discussion site. There is no official consensus here. We do not put out information. There is no credibility to damage.

I can't believe they would be that stupid, falling into the old "every problem is a nail" trap. Maybe they are. I think it's more likely it's an attempt to discredit any prominent dems that may venture here or reveal themselves, like E.E. or the Dem strategist.

Or maybe they're just being lazy. The "blogosphere" is the hot thing of the day, and there's nothing the media likes to talk about more than the media.

In any case, all publicity is good publicity.
