Media Notes Internet Attack on Minority Leader Harry Reid
Mainstream media in House Minority Leader Harry Reid's home state of Nevada has taken note of liberal bloggers' opposition to his appointment.
Bloggers and liberal Web pages called for Reid's defeat and the election instead of Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Richard Durbin of Illinois or even Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
One of the first came from TalkLeft.com, which the day after the election posted this notice: "TalkLeft supports Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, primarily on his record, yet also because he comes from a solidly Democratic state, and Republicans won't be able to successfully target him for removal the way they did [Tom] Daschle."
The article continues with opposition by several other bloggers and then notes:
Soon, liberals in the mainstream media were joining the effort.
