BRIT speaking of the "Pajama" Crowd, web loggers now..
Little Green Footballs...Scott Johnson, POWERLINE BLOG--
How do you go about the blog everyday?
Scott--I get up early and review the net and then analyse and share them with our readers...
Is doing this in PJ's fair?
I do put on a coat and tie when I leave the living room...not fair
What DO you do?
I'm a lawyer and teach law...
We started the site in 2002 May, with 9/11 in mind to review the Iraq war, freedom to pass up the normal review time so we could put things out there fast..
How did you get a hold of this story...?
Saw a story in Boston Glob, "Fortunate Son"...
Then on Thursday saw Globe story about 60 mins story and saw the memos...struck him that they are a fit with the prior Kerry story..but also got an EMAIL from a reader (re our POST 47)...
So he posted the info and the link and when he got to work, he had 50 emails from around the country with evidence from analysts...
Brit asks that since you don't have all the "infrastructure" how can you be accurate?
Scott then cites just how easy it was to verify what info the emails told him to look for and check...re: Little Green Footballs...
Brit asks about CBS claims that nobody checks their stories...but Scott says that WE are SELF FACT CHECKING, if we get it wrong we get immediate feedback and we FIX IT!

Gotta love the internet and bloggers.
Wow...Brit is spending most of the hour on this. CBS is toast, and FOX wants a bite.
