Lefty blog readers rule

Chris Bowers at MyDD gives his take on the Blogads readership survey. Bearing in mind that it’s a self-selected sample, not a random one, he still draws some interesting conclusions.

His main point is that a lot of stereotypes about the readership of the progressive/Democratic blog world are off track.

As Atrios fair-mindedly sums it all up:

I don't care all that much whether we're "very highly educated, highly politically active, quite well-to-do, voracious consumers of media, not very young" or "drooling, rabid, anti-social, uneducated, teenage extremists" but the former happens to be the truth.

One trend worth singling out: Although the gender gap is closing slightly, blog readership on the left side of the dial is still roughly 2-to-1 male ("still a sausage fest," as Bowers puts it).
