TalkLeft's Thanksgiving Thanks
TalkLeft has a yearly Thanksgiving ritual of giving thanks to bloggers and others who most have helped and supported our efforts during the year. In compiling this year's list, I was surprised, because it's the first time that there are mainstream media organizations and writers to thank. It's clear that the MSM has embraced blogs this year, and that's a great thing for both blogs and the public.
I hope readers will check out every one linked below - and consider giving thanks to your favorite bloggers by putting a little something in their tip jars.
