It might not be as sexy as an item about an MSM anchor exposing his liberal bias. But if there's one thing I'd encourage conservatives to read, consider and act on in the blogosphere today, it is the Patrick Ruffni column "Information Gaps on the Right" at Hugh Hewitt's blog.

Thanks, Mark. Read and email to some friends. Unfortunately, as soon as any writer, site, or blog is deemed ‘conservative,’ it is disregarded by the MSM.
