But I do know one thing: "extremism" has become a matter not of beliefs but one of attitude, or perhaps of partisanship. Howard Dean, for example, is pretty moderate on a lot of issues; it just happens that he yells a lot and makes loud accusations. Under these standards, both Atrios and Kos are pretty far out on the left. Aphrael,

Three of them I don't know anything about and had assumed they were centrist. I think Atrios and Kos are definitely centre-left. You have a point both with Howard Dean and the overall number. Hmm.

What's your problem with it, exactly? That seems to include both center-left and center-right blogs but no far-left or far-right blogs. What’s your problem with it, exactly?
