As soon as the story broke they pounced on it and quickly showed that the document upon which CBS based its story was in all likelihood a forgery.

"pounced" -- I like that!

What is happening is that for the first time in decades, if not ever, the power of the mainstream media (MSM) in the United States is being seriously challenged by a mostly ragtag army of outsiders armed with little more than the internet.

Of all the nerve...our Jammies are not ragtag!!!

"They can do so at almost no cost"

Yeah, except in time.

I'm sure Rathergate is important in some ways, but it'd be nice if all those blogs that are spending all this time on that could be encouraged to cover things that are a bit more important.

The Euro-elites are going to take a really big hit if this catches on over there.

I do believe the first stirrings of speculation regarding the legitimacy of the CBS documents, began right here - I am proud to claim - on FREE REPUBLIC.COM.

Blogs: Halting the march of the mainstream media

The first issue of National Review declares conservatives to stand up to the march of liberal history yelling STOP!

"CBS and its unbelievably pompous anchorman, Dan Rather, have tried their best to defend the story but it is now all but dead and with it possibly Kerry's chance of election.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
"This sort of thing has never happened before because no one was around to call the MSM to account before."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
"The MSM in the US is liberal with few exceptions and will gladly run stories that embarrass the Republicans and suppress stories that will embarrass the Democrats. But now with the bloggers on the scene, the bias of the MSM is being revealed daily and the MSM can't stand it."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Note tagline (vide infra).

Great report! Cyberspace is victorious over MSM.

My website is just a hobby but I am listed on all the search major engines and have been ranked by Google among the 20 best news sites in the U.S. Another ezine site had me ranked in the top 10 last year with a ranking of Four Stars ****. Oh well . . .

Similarly the MSM is now losing its monopoly over the news

Two and half years ago I went to this rally in Seattle. Despite the place being packed with thousands of people I saw no mention on the teevee news that night, no note of it in the local dailies the next morning. It was as if it had, a la 1984, never been.

But there's a record of it on the Internet nonetheless, with pictures. It happened.

The MSM in the US is liberal...

...and the pope is Catholic, and it's darker outside at night than during the day, and there's no air in outer space, and fish live in the sea, and to climb a mountain you have to go up, and bears sh*t in the woods, and a clock's hands turn clockwise, AND DAN RATHER IS A FREAKIN' FRAUD!!!

what is happening to the MSM is roughly analogous to what happened to the Catholic Church when the printing press was invented

I just got a mental picture of Matt Drudge nailing a letter to the doors of CBiaS news.
