I could start by simply asking "Is water wet"?
It would be far easier to say, "Yes, and so do the Independents, and the Liberals, and the Democrats, and the Republicans, and the Socialists . . . " Get the point? Of course any group with an agenda to popularize is going to sponsor / pay a blogger to say friendly things.
It's no different than advertising - it's no different than a billboard or a web ad.
It's a fools mission to try and argue this or to even belabor it with any discussion. If you don't see that the liberal agenda is popularized by the liberal media, and likewise a conservative agenda, and so forth you are sadly mistaken. No matter how you slice it it comes down to a propaganda machine. The media and advertisers try to push and pull your opinions in any way they can to sway your decision. If they can cause even the slightest shift in your POV they have been successful. So don't be surprised by it.

bl8n8r writes: More woes for Adobe as security firm creates proof of concept attack which injects malicious code as part of the update process. The user only needs to click a dialog box to execute the code and no javascript is needed to launch the exploit. The exploit affects Foxit as well as Adobe Acrobat software. This exploit is made possible through the host software allowing execution of system binaries. Not clear if it's multiplatform, but seems plausible.
Submission + - Years-old privacy hole to be closed in Firefox? (theregister.co.uk)
garg0yle writes: Firefox developers have announced they're close to plugging a security hole which allows websites to find out what other sites you visit — a hole which plagues virtually all browsers, and has been around for years (Microsoft categorized it as a bug in 2002). The fix won't actually completely remove the possibility, but it will make it a lot harder to exploit.
From the article: "It's also worth noting that most of the attacks can be eliminated by blocking a site's ability to run Javascript. That means users of the NoScript add-on for Firefox will in many cases be protected against the attack. ... Any site that has the ability to run code also has the ability to silently pilfer your browsing history."
