The Instapunditon featured on MSNBC.com
Glenn Reynolds suggest that everyone should be blogging. The Instapundit is one of our favorite blogs and his perspective is worth a look.Blogging is a good thing, and my advice is for everyone to start a blog. (Just go to Blogger.com and follow the instructions -- it's free, and you can be up and blogging in 20 minutes). In part that's because -- as Robert Samuelson notes in this column on campaign finance "reform" and free speech -- the campaign finance laws have ensured that the only people who have free speech rights in an election are politicians and members of the media. The members of Congress who supported this bill, the journalists who editorialized in favor of it, President Bush, who signed it, and the Supreme Court, which upheld it, all have a lot to answer for.
In the meantime, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Start your own blog and become a member of the media. It may be the only way to get your voice heard.
Blogging is the one true free press where everyone has a voice.
