When I first saw this yesterday, I thought huh....it'll be another Air America on the net and that was that.
Then I read about it again this morning and how Warren Beatty would be a part of it:
SOURCES: WARREN BEATTY TO BLOG!You know....I'm no huge impact on the blogsphere, but I do know this: you cannot just slap down some money on a domain name and think that you'll be a big hit.
The Observer has learned that Warren Beatty, the 68-year-old actor and director, will likely join a lineup of liberal all-stars who will "group blog" on a Web site to be launched next month by columnist Arianna Huffington.
"I probably will," Mr. Beatty said, on the phone from his production office in Los Angeles.
The "Huffington Report," as Ms. Huffington has dubbed it, will also feature such boldface bloggers as Senator Jon Corzine, David Geffen, Viacom co-chief Tom Freston, Barry Diller, Tina Brown and Gwyneth Paltrow. If the name seems to echo that of the Drudge Report—the mega-site operated by the rightward-tilting unofficial editorial director of America’s news cycle, Matt Drudge—well, it’s supposed to. And Mr. Beatty approved of that.
"I applaud the effort to tell the side of the story that Arianna Huffington seems to be engaged in," he said. Mr. Beatty was all too aware, he said, of the power Mr. Drudge has to steer the American media.
Blogging in my opinion isn't just sitting down each day and banging out X number of words like so many chimpanzees with typewriters. It takes a commitment to convey your thoughts on all things big and small, famous and infamous, relavent and inane.
And this 'all-liberal' blog will end up like Air America: left-of-center whining that's subsidized by rich patrons of the whining arts.
