Breathlessly Sean Holman at the Public Eye Online reports,

Conservative MP Diane Ablonczy and her longtime supporter Gerrie van Ieperen appear to have been involved with an initiative to counter the media’s perceived left-wing bias via the blogosphere, according to a collection of emails leaked to Public Eye.

This will come as huge news to folks like Bob Tarentino. Here’s the bullet Sean, there are lots of us who have been blogging about leftish media bias without the assitance of CPC MPs. but, hey, if they want to come to the party late we’re delighted to see them.

The trouble is that the dedicated CPC bloggers miss the real essence of blogging which is that it is anarchtic. Bloggers do not toe the party line at all well which is why so many of the Blogging Tories are so utterly unreadable. (As are the Prog bloggers and the LibLogs.)

Party line does not make it in blogging any more than it makes for interesting MSM journalism.

The funny thing is that politicians see blogs as an extention of MSM and therefore subject to the same level of co-option. Which is to say that generally politicians entirely miss the point. The only politician who seems to get it is Monte Solberg. Who, I note, has been embraced by the Canadian blogosphere simply because he brings a sense of humour to his blog and obviously writes it himself.

Update: the Zerb is on the job
