Good Blogger, posted this link in his excerpt.
Agreed, I love reading Warner Todd Huston at NewsBusters.
Asking you to post the full content is an attempt to shut you down?
I’ve been here on FR longer than all of them

If it wasn't for the Blogosphere, the new media, we'd still be listening to Dan Rather and getting all our news from the NYTimes.
Brent Bozell and all his people do a great job at Newsbusters and Media Research Center.
Any blogger that post for Brent is OK in my book.
