Love Letter to the Blogosphere (Michelle Malkin)

Rathergate has accelerated outreach to non-bloggers exponentially--and everyone benefits, including those who have sniffily pooh-poohed this incredible breakthrough.
This episode is also a powerful rebuke to the 'Wonkette-ization' of the blogosphere--which enabled the Old Media to take comfort in gossip blogger Ana Marie Cox's bosom and minimizing blogging as a clownish fluffball enterprise.
They'll still visit her site for fabricated rumours, but she will no longer be a daily must read, when she has been replaced by bloggers of substance who don't need to go slumming to command deserved attention from newsrooms across the country.
Throughout it all, the bloggers who took the lead in questioning CBS remain hard at work and have displayed traits that are so foreign to the mainstream media elite: intellectual and personal humility and infectious humor.
You guys are the role models--for bloggers, journalists, and journalism students alike.
Thank you for all you do!

I always knew we made a difference.
One. Just one person is all it takes. In this case it was Buckhead!

Shouldn't there be a Milchele Malkin photo rule similar to the Ann Coulter
photo rule?

Grassroots movements are a powerful thing. Politicians need to recognize that it is far more impacting than any of their consultants can ever be. Power to the people.

How long before "we" become the "Main Stream Media"? I applaud your switch to the term "Old Media"...which is exactly what they are!

I'm always amazed of the reaction mighty Michelle gets from her detractors on the other side. The reaction is one of disbelieve,shock,utter hatred....and yet, what Michelle says ..is always the truth. It is people like Michelle who inspire and educate.
