A Curious Mix: Kylie Minogue, Nintendo, Scott McClellan and a Canadian Lawmaker
What a difference a day makes. Tuesday's BlogPulse buzz focused heavily on Newsweek magazine and the shake-out of its Koran-flushing retraction, while today's buzz-makers encompass totally different issues and topics.
Australian pop star Kylie Minogue, who announced this week she has breast cancer, is receiving plenty of support from her fans.
In gamerland, announcement of the spring 2006 launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 dominates the field, is covered live by the aficianados at Engadget and recives plenty of ink from Gamespot.
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan jumps from No. 20 to No. 8 among today's key people, no doubt, because in blaming Newsweek for anti-American sentiment abroad, he also drew the wrath of MSNBC's Keith Olberman, who on his blog has called for McClellan's resignation over officially questionable media practices and spin.
And today's No. 2 link details Canadian politics, in which once-Conservative Belinda Stronach has jumped to the Liberal party to take a position in Prime Minister Paul Martin's cabinet.
For today's conservative-liberal viewpoints, there's veteran newsman Bill Moyers, who gave a recent speech about the role of the free press ("a democracy can die of too many lies") and former White House aide Pat Buchanan's thoughts on the demise of conservatism ("a lot of people who call themselves conservative....are big-government people.")
BLOGPULSE TREND GRAPH OF THE DAY: In the last few weeks, discussion about cancer has spiked.
