Forecast: Blogstorm Coming

Due to their informal, uncontrolled nature, blogs are likely to have a significant social impact during the next presidential election. It's going to be a fun, wild ride.

It's no secret that there's bias in the media. After all, Fox News is widely regarded to have a right wing slant, while the New York Times is often assused of expressing liberal favoritism. Meanwhile, blogs have no claims to be "fair and balanced." Bloggers seldom have a problem with admitting their bias. So, we'll likely see a lot more heavily opinionated attacks or praise toward the candidates in the next presidential election, thanks to the blogosphere.

Get out your umbrellas. Blogstorms are coming our way.
