"Screw Them" Gets "Fisked"

Markos "screw them" Zuniga get's a serious beatdown for his Guardian article.

Liberal groups are fighting back, working to build a parallel infrastructure. My blog DailyKos.com receives 350-400,000 visits every day - double that of FoxNews.com and comparable to the Guardian's print run.
Not according to Site Meter, it doesn't. According to Site Meter, it gets 317,741 visits per day on average. Gee, Markos, would you like to talk for a bit about how this 20% exaggeration in your traffic figures is "grossly out of proportion to the alleged infraction?"
Daily Kos and other bloggers like
Atrios, MyDD, TalkLeft, and Juan Cole have become a liberal counterweight to the mainstream media and the Rightwing Noise Machine. We don't have parity, but we're working on it.
Yay for the little guy! The little guy who … um … claims to have readership in excess of the Guardian's. Wait, what? I'm confused. Is Daily Kos this huge thing or a tiny grass-roots venture? You're having trouble getting your message out, Markos. Better start blaming it on the "right-wing noise machine."
We all hope to have an impact in 2004, but there's reality: conservatives have spent 30 years building their infrastructure. We can't be expected to counter that in one year. We do things with an eye to the future, all the while doing our best to spare our country (and the world) four more years of a Bush administration.
