Why We Read Blogs

What started off as an interesting comment by LACityNerd on the UCLA student being tasered repeatedly turned into an even more interesting comment on why people read blogs? Why do I read the blogs I read? I read them because they have unique voices and perspectives I either agree with or find interesting. I'm not so interested in Blogger Toddler's next pick as I am in where the folks at Franklin Avenue walk or eat and what they think about it. I'm fascinated by what the Atwater Newbie learns about his new city. I admire people like Josh Marshall and Markos who try to speak the truth about our country.
