Wow, if you were sick when you wrote that, imagine how great it'd be if you were well!

I didn't see this until this morning. Excellent work, and just what I needed to read!

I am tired of having to put up with the ignorance and partisanship of the MSM. Your rant is as good as Zell's speech!

He also complained that there was no check on the bloggers. To me, it seems that he's really complaining that the bloggers have now placed a check on the networks.

Yes, that's it. The Internet community has evolved into a watch dog of the MSM. Bloggers may get aspects to a news story incorrect, but their take on things can get vetted by hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, and the truth usually surfaces. We vet ourselves and we vet the news organizations, especially on important issues.

I am sure, without going through all the comments, that this has been said many times. Nonetheless, Pukin Dog:

Congratulations, You Nailed It.

No No No. That was my embellishment / vent on the original quote. Definitly my F'n. Sorry for the confusion.

Instapundit posted the quote below on 9-10-04. Not sure Instapundit had the exact quote. might have to get a transcript for that.

JUST CAUGHT Jonathan Klein debating Stephen Hayes about the CBS forgery scandal. Klein says that "Bloggers have no checks and balances . . . [it's] a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas."

Dog, as you were, my comments were addressed to the MSM, not you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The Old Media is now in the same position as the old communist ruling party in the Soviet Union at the time of Gorbachev.

They knew it was over, but were just trying to hang on a little longer........
