When I said that Sunstien's writing on blogs was "shallow" above, I meant that in his books (Infotopia, Republic 2.0) he barely initiates the sort of quantitative analysis you've done.

They read the script and smile or ask the canned questions with no follow up and then arrange for the talking points to be reprinted nearly verbatim. Needless to say a critical examination of the veracity of the content is never performed. Not even on such a basic level as fact checking much less the rebuttal of erronious points. While I have seen bloggers go over the edge I also see them reporting the news that the papers and networks will not cover due to the vested interests of their owners in the war economy...

The <a href="http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/11548" rel="nofollow">full bloggingheads dialogue</a> headines the first segment "The echo-chamber effect in blogs vs. newspapers." It looks interesting, but... My general problem is that I'm spoiled by the production quality of radio and TV. Anybody can write publishable copy (presuming they edit it...) but delivering crisp speech/video is very difficult on a webcam. Reader-researcher here will add, shame on the NYT for that headline.

It's Volokh v. Sunnstein-- 2 law professors. West Coast v. (now) East Coast. I wish that the Times actually had information architects to discuss this. Sunstein's writings on blogging in particular have been shallow, and Volokh is too invested in blogging to give an outside opinion. But I won't let that prejudice me, I'll see if I can stomach it.
