Where Credit Is Due
By Mitch Berg
Over at True North, Matt Abe notes that KTLK-FM afternoon host (and my long-time talkradio role model) Jason Lewis has built quite the one-stop shop for conservatives:
Tired and frustrated at waiting for conservative leadership elsewhere, Lewis is beginning to lead a conservative reformation in Minnesota politics, but not from where he would be subject to the slings and arrows of elected office. Instead Lewis is working from his bully pulpit of talk radio, the Internet, and a growing network of conservative activists. Overreaching by the DFL in the Legislature this session, and the crumbling of the Pawlenty veto firewall, may be adding fuel to Lewis’s fire.
Not to plug the competition, but kudos to Jason. He’s also got one of the best “blogrolls” of conservative sites in the business.
And kudos, in addition, to everyone that’s been in the online agitation game for the past six years; the MOB, my fellow NARN hosts (especially Ed and Powerline), and True North. After six years of running the most vibrant blog community in the country, it’s really impossible to be taken seriously in this market if you don’t have a solid online presence – which doesn’t just mean “a slick website” anymore.
(But note to Jason; get an RSS feed. Actually clicking on websites is so 2000).

My one complaint with Jason is that his Tax cut rally is not until April 14-15. By that time the legislature will be done raising all the taxes they can find. Should have held it in cold February.
