Pajamahadeen Party At CNN
Call it a Pajamahadeen party. CNN will host select bloggers on Election Night in order to generate instant reaction to results in the Nov. 7 mid-term election, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The list of 20-plus blogs that will be represented include Althouse, Americablog, Ankle Biting Pundits, Betsy's Page, Captain's Quarters, -- Crooks and Liars, Eschaton, La Shawn Barber's Corner and TalkLeft.
The party has sparked at least some negative feedback. "I am not getting paid to appear on CNN," Ed Morrissey wrote at Captain's Quarters after some of his readers questioned his decision to participate. "They are covering my expenses, but they have made no demands of positive coverage or even that I will watch CNN's coverage on this evening.
"They are covering my expenses, just as anyone who engaged me as a public speaker would do, and even then it's limited to a round-trip ticket and one night at a Marriott-brand hotel. I may have my price, but that and a free meal ain't it, if you know what I mean."
