The Hartford Courant recently held a forum on political blogging in Connecticut…with a panel that didn’t include a single conservative. Don Pesci, one of our state’s best conservative bloggers, responds: When the Hartford Courant recently hosted a forum on blogging, no conservative bloggers were represented on the panel that included McEnroe, introduced as a blogger, […]
