This is one of the better articles I've seen giving credit to the burgeoning threat that bloggers are to the old, mainstream media, and how the MSM has been slow to recognize it or take it seriously.

Think of sites like FreeRepublic as "truth sifters". Like panning for gold, the good stuff stays in the pan and the garbage falls to the ground.

On FreeRepublic, if you lie you die.

The power of Blogs or bulletin boards lies in their massive parallel processing capabilities. There are probably thousands of FReepers on line at a time. Each, potentially, working a different part of an issue. (e.g., fonts, spacing, nomenclature, protocols, timelines, etc) This is very similar to the method employed by SETI@HOME - divide a huge problem into manageable "chunks" and shotgun them out to millions of PCs for solution.

Pajama People

Pajama People got no reason
Pajama People got no reason
Pajama People got no reason
To live

They got little stubby fingers - little blurry eyes
They protest all day - postin' great big lies

They got snotty noses and coffee-stained teeth
They wear week-old underwear on their nasty little seat.

Well, I don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People `Round here

Pajama People are not the same as you and I (A Fool Such As I)
Good folk are liberals 'til the day they die (It's A Wonderful World)

Pajama People got nobody
Pajama People got nobody
Pajama People got nobody
To love

They got little beady eyes - and a furrowed brow
You gotta cuff their ears - just to say hello

They got little protest horns
That go beep, beep, beep

They're always saying
"Cheney's our veep, veep, veep!"

They got nasty little toes
hangin' from jammys below
We gotta make sure - it's their time to go.

Well, I don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People
'Round here

Both Killian’s son and widow, for example, say they doubt the memos are real, as Killian rarely typed.
