HOWARD KURTZ offers some advance notice for An Army of Davids.
He also mentions Kos’s new book (coauthored with Jerome Armstrong) and this passage sounds like something I could agree with:
Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, who speaks regularly with Democratic leaders, will soon publish “Crashing the Gate,” his indictment of “a progressive movement that is failing to keep up with the times,” including “issue groups that don’t realize it’s no longer 1975 or even 1995” and “an incestuous relationship between the party committees and consultants that serve themselves more than our candidates.”
I don’t think I’d like a Democratic party remade in Kos’s image, but admitting you have a problem is the first step to dealing with it. And here’s more evidence that reality can transcend partisanship at times:
I just finished reading the type script of Glenn Reynolds’ “An Army of Davids: How Markets & Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths.” We’re supposed to be on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but I agreed with so much in the book, especially about the power that blogging and the new technology have given to the individual to take on big media, big government and the status quo.
Indeed.
