Guido Fawkes airbrushed out of the present by Tory pamphlet
*Amended*
Conservative aAgitator and uber-blogger Guido Fawkes has called out a Telegraph leader writer for airbrushing him out of the stats in a pamphlet on politics and the web.
"Politics, Policy and the Internet" was written by Robert Colville and published by the Centre for Policy Studies and includes a chart based on Hitwise data for the "Market Share of Websites of Leading Blogs":
But why would they leave out a star right-wing blogista from such a study. Guido suspects the Telegraph may be ashamed of his success. Guido makes a shocking accusation:
To come second to one not-always-sober Guy with a lap-top after losing £10 million on developing your website last year?
Surely not?
According to Guido, Colville says he fully intended to include order-order.com, the "website of the leading blog" of Mr Fawkes.
: : "Politics, Policy and the Internet" is worth a read in its own right, BTW – if you like that sort of thing.
: : : Reminds me of some grumbles I heard in meejah-land about the Telegraph using Hitwise data to declare itself the best read newspaper website in the UK. But that was may have been just down to sour-grapes on the part of A.N.Other national newspaper’s team and not a complex point about a demographic bias in Hitwise’s data-set.
