As someone who's been blogging since 2002, I can tell you first hand that you get a fair amount of outreach. But I even though I have had to put Simon's feed through a summarizer to be able to keep up, I don't see any bias there--just _a lot_ of writing about whatever he's interested in, and either our own perceptions of what is interesting and the law of averages inevitably kick in and there are a few duds here and there.
