Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments.

Cassilis – Brown may not be the disaster the media frame him as, but he is a truly dismal interviewee, lacking any of the verbal dexterity of other statesman.
Anton Vowl – Why are the message boards of mainstream news sites allowed to be hijacked by hardline rightwingers? Clue: click, click, click! [NSFW]
westmonster – The French have banned the incitement of “thinness”.
BuzzFlash – How the myth of ‘ol Gipper screwed blue-collar America. via.
e8voice – Chronicles Obama’s latest miss-calculation, and the ad hoc alliance of McCain and Hillary.
Political Betting – So who’ll be the next leader of the Labour Party? Mike looks at the candidates.

“Matt Wardman” hosts this week’s britblog review.
