Two things strike me as being possible, concerning other blogs reactions to Z's moves that they disagree with:
- They are preaching to the choir, in that by and large their readership expects them to spout only the things they expect them to say...therefore they say them so as not to "disillusion" the existing readership. (Although one could argue that their readership will fall in lock-step with anything they say anyway).
- Blogs are not dissimilar to talk-radio...far easier to be reactionary in a negative way than to express simple agreement with a decision.
