Politics - a cautionary tale for bloggers

Such is what I got out of reading On a Tightrope Without the Net in The Washington Post. I have a very good idea how small a readership I have but I suspect that even Daily Kos does not reach as significant amount of the population as O'Reilly who does not have the influence that Walter Cronkite had in his day. (I seem to recall Olbermann commenting on O'Reilly bashing Daily Kos, which probably gave Daily Kos a bunch of free publicity, and so reinforces my opinion of O'Reilly's dimness).
