...will achieve. Perhaps more than all these little quirks, the very fact that a split ticket carried the day, just as endorsed by The Harvard Crimson, is the most interesting aspect of this year’s campaign. It’s now up to Glazer and Nichols to transcend hair, middle names and the emotions built up during a frenetic campaign season to deliver on their promises. With twice the tickets, and twice the promises to fulfill, I hope Glazer and Nichols are ready for a busy year...
...company hopes it can finally reach its best potential customers. That assumes, of course, that those customers want to reach Sears.

The aforementioned Instapundit, for example, heavily favors linking to conservative media outlets. Unlike the amateur journalists and storytellers, linkers do not attempt to transcend mainstream media, only to navigate them. By not challenging the assertions and assumptions of the mainstream, these blogs do a disservice to their readers...
