Via ADrants, Rogers Cadenhead reports that the Drudge Retort, Smirking Chimp and Raw Story were kicked out of “Advertise Liberally” an ad network of BlogAds. According to Roger (in the comments) it is because they aren’t a “blog”.

Now, I would hope that there is some kind of reason for this and I don’t want to speculate - but this seems really weird, as these are all popular sites (disclosure - I have purchased ads for clients on Smirking Chimp and RawStory as well as on Kos and MyDD - who set up the network).

I mean, if it is their network, I suppose they can do what they want, but I am a little worried when Mr. Cadenhead says this:

Instead, I’ve just given six months of effort and free ad space worth $2,200 to a liberal ad network that’s now my competition.

That is soo0oooooooo not cool. They were DONATING the space???

Update: (note to self - google first, THEN post) Just a Bump in the Beltway has the email from Chris Bowers. I can see why they have their restrictions, but it is awfully snotty… Also, Watching the Watchers has some REALLY nasty email from Chris Bowers…
