Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

That quote is sort of right. It should read:
“Blogs cannot change the way newspapers are written, but they can help people ignore them.”
With the blogs I read (does fark.com/totalfark.com count, too?), I don’t even sully my fingers with a newspaper. They help me collect and distill the news I want/need. Mind you, I still read cnn.com, foxnews.com and so on, but I haven’t picked up a newspaper in months.
It’s odd nowadays I read the media to see what stories/facts they are omitting.
