Informed Speculation

That seems to be the initial reaction…picking up on a link from the National Journal’s Blogometer, here’s lefty David Corn, an editorial board member:

I’m still waiting to see OSM straighten itself out. The debut was hardly that of a powerhouse site, and changes, I’m told, are in the works. I hope quickly in the works. The site needs more action, pizzazz, and raison d’etre. Believe me, I’ve thrown much more than two cents into the internal discussion about the site, its problems, and the potential solutions. Before the launch, left-of-center bloggers and some visitors to this site were fretting it would be the HQ for neocon shock-troops on the Web. Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott and I had a back-and-forth on the subject, with Wolcott comparing the OSM gang to Dr. Josef Mengele. But OSM’s startup problems have not been ideological; they’ve been editorial. The content and presentation have not been sufficiently compelling.

There’s more, both pro and con, at the American Thinker…just keep scrolling…

UPDATE 1:31 p.m.: Then there is this, from Jeff Jarvis:

I think you should be a conservative Huffington Post. Stop trying to act fair and balanced; have a worldview and be proud of it. Thank your liberal tokens who were kind enough to join in and give you beard and come out and be right and be proud.
