[Air-l] Bloggers Progressive?

[mv23 at humboldt.edu]

Hmmmm... I haven't done an empirical search of blogger sites, but I
imagine there are quite a few racist, sexist etc. bloggers out there. Just
as other Internet technologies have been harnessed for all political
purposes, blogging no doubt has been as well.  I understand the empirical
correlation between technology use and political likelihoods... but I have
a hard time with technology stripped of content categorized as
"progressive".  The concept of "innovative" works better for me.
