The
New York Times gave some ink to two recent digital conferences in Minneapolis that were on opposite sides politically.
"It is no secret that much of the blogosphere is sharply, often loudly, divided by politics," the story starts out by saying.
Netroots Nation is liberal, while
Right Online has a conservative bent, the Times reports.
The groups scheduled their gatherings simultaneously in the city, mere blocks away from each other, the story notes.
Looking
at some of the cultural and ideological differences between the two
groups, the story shows how the vibrant politicking in Minneapolis is
demonstrative of the national political climate.
