 Blogs: Halting the march of the mainstream media  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. The age of the blogger is upon us.

 I think of it as a gestalt- the sum of the whole, together, is greater than the parts added separately.

  The Camera Blinks A nation of fact-checkers, a network in denial.  Seen on a blog yesterday:
You can't say 'well, the sentiments were correct.'
That's like saying to the bank, 'Well, he owed me money' after forging a check.

 The collapse of America's media elite. What qualifications exactly, to be a journalist? -- even non-lawyer bloggers with superior research skills – think Captain Ed, Tom McGuire and Polipundit – are going to run rings around "pros" who aren't in a hurry to bring down their favored candidate.

The Fall Of The Big Media (Joseph Farah's Better Than Dan Rather, Folks)

 Big media's fall began with the Clinton Regime. Here was the most corrupt liar ever to occupy the office and the Redstream media attacked the truth tellers instead of the crooks. After watching the nightly news most of my life I stopped watching soon after Clinton was elected.

The Information Reformation ~~ It's speeding up and conservatives are still coming out on top.

-- It is hard to overstate the speed with which the information reformation is advancing--or to overestimate its impact on politics and culture. The mainstream media is a hollowed-out shell of its former self when it comes to influence, and when advertisers figure out who is reading the blogs, the old media is going to see their advertising base drain away, and not slowly.

 It's fun to be present at the revolution. And even more fun to be on the winning side.

Free Republic is Blogosphere Leader

Open Letter to the MSM – Part Two. We are indeed kicking your tails. Are you surprised? We’re not. -- As I write this, you folks are breathlessly covering a wacked-out tool of the left as she continues to throw feces at her son’s grave. No matter that there are 10 times as many folks just on the other side of the road that strongly appose her who your cameramen and anchors, cant seem to find. Look to the RIGHT. See them waving at you in the Club Gitmo T-shirts? You can’t miss them. Or, I guess you can, huh?  I could go on, but the word is out. You are dying, and we are just getting started. Me and my buddies in the Pajamahdeen are taking you to the cleaners  The bottom line is that more Americans love America more than they like you.

 

 Video Greeting to All FReepers from Deborah Johns, "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy!"-- Thanks for this. We are witnessing history being made.  Conservatism unchained. New Media foreshadows freedom from Olds Media bondage.

 The Three C's of Blogging, What the blogosphere is doing to help (Free Republic Mentioned) -- Compassion, connection, and correction... Finally, correction, as in the sort that follows from accountability. There aren't going to be any secrets in this story, at least not for long. When Fox News's Major Garrett broke a story on Wednesday afternoon that Red Cross senior officials were confirming that Louisiana state officials had blocked the supply of water, food, blankets, and hygiene products to the Superdome, it was only moments later that the story had been picked up on FreeRepublic, and Garrett was booked and interviewed on my radio show.

 Here's Powerline's own timeline of how it went down:

September 12, 2004

Quote:

Early Thursday morning, Minneapolis lawyer Scott Johnson was in his basement home office, preparing to link some morning news reports to the site he co-authors, when a reader sent an e-mail about Buckhead.

Intrigued, Johnson, whose online ID is "The Big Trunk," put a link on his site, PowerLine Blog.com, to Buckhead's post.

Then the floodgates opened.

Mapes Book Promulgates Outrageous Lies Mary Mapes Hits Bloggers and MSM in Upcoming Book. This latest quote from Mapes’ book is stupid and dishonest in so many ways it boggles the mind: “Faxing changes a document in so many ways, large and small, that analyzing a memo that had been faxed — -in some cases not once, but twice — -was virtually impossible. The faxing destroyed the subtle arcs and lines in the letters. The characters bled into each other. The details of how the typed characters failed to line up perfectly inside each word were lost.” In other words, she’s arguing that faxing a typewritten document from the 1970s is more likely to make it appear as if it were printed with modern proportional typefaces, and would alter the spacing to exactly match a Microsoft Word replica. 08:03 AM PDT | link: 248 comments

 Top blogs often too one-sided [Free Republic and Drudge dwarf all others but are unfair] -- You know that the effort to control US will be intense. We will have free speech in this country or we won't. I'm betting that we will, because I know we will fight to the death to keep it.

 Media: Insult At Your Own Risk -- Nothing drives these has-beens battier than talk radio...  Former MSM member Jessica McBride (formerly of the Freeman and the [Milwaukee] Journal Sentinel) is now a blogger. Her old collegues are apparently aghast that she dares to report on the unending bias demonstrated by her former employers. McBride seems shocked that they're mad at her. As she is new to this new media/counterculture thing, I'll warn her that it'll only get worse. They can't stand a turncoat.

Attack Of The Blogs -- What this author is really saying is that free speech is only for journalists, not the masses. Or at least, if they're going to speak, they shouldn't actually be heard.

 Politicians, activists and tax grinders hate blogs. That's enough of a reason to protect them.
Personally, if I were attacked with blogs I would ignore it.
