I'm missing the call for regulation.
There's a good point in there that there doesn't seem to be any sort of code of ethics whereby (e.g.) those Thune blogs would be obliged to disclose that they were on the Thune payroll. Competition doesn't work as well when consumers don't have this sort of information.
I don't understand why they include Atrios, except perhaps out of some screwy impulse to look even-handed by attacking someone on the left. Atrios wasn't paid to blog, and having a position with a watchdog group is very different from having a position with a campaign.
