Drudge is even getting scooped. Last Sunday Katie Couric's "Listening Tour" stop at the Televsion Critic's Association meeting was covered by several newsies with their own blogs. Drudge teased the story and the tease was posted here.

However, TV Newser linked up all the blogs and their comments were online before Drudge did the story.

The communications lines become shorter and shorter. I'll be posting an LA Time story shortly talking about the paranoia level in Hollywood...

Ping me to it- and thanks for the comments. It's fascinating to observe.

The impression I get of the Drive By Media attempting to get a handle on blogs ( and only because everybody's talking about it, the phenomenon has been around in one form or another for years ) is that

1)- it's got something to do with the internet
2)- it's eating their lunch, with speed, and fact-checking
3)- they don't like it much.

And they don't seem to have a clue.
