A recent MSNBC article details how integrated bloggers have become in the political machinery in the U S of A — another arm of propaganda information no different than radio pundits or talk show hosts, it seems … and unlike bloggers of other interests, it seems that these ones are paid well.

Very well.

The best-known example is Jerome Armstrong of MyDD, the “blogfather” of Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. Armstrong and Moulitsas rose to Internet fame together during the 2004 presidential race. But with the exception of the book “Crashing The Gate” that they co-authored this year, they have pursued different professional routes since then.

Moulitsas focused his energies on blog publications, in sports as well as politics, while Armstrong chose to make his money in political consulting for Democrats. He has earned a nice wad of dough, too — more than $200,000 in less than two years.

In light of the whole “disclosure” meme floating around the tech-side of the blogosphere, it sounds like the take home story is wear your affiliations on your sleeve — and proudly.

Then go fishing for paid sponsorships for corporations / interests with deep pockets.

Afterall, it certainly makes the $10/post at PayPerPost seem like peanuts, doesn’t it?
