They had four writers on this story, and still didn't learn that we aren't "bloggers" at FR. FR is a bulletin board. Bulletin boards not only predated web logs, they predated the web browser, and thus the Internet as we now know it.
The MSM is still playing catch-up. But that's OK, we have no problem with them trailing us.

Why can't they get things right? It's dismaying. BTW, did you see the posted piece calling our fellow FReeper Buckbeak? I could not stop laughing.

In a fair media, the title would be "THE BLOGGERS-HOW TO KNOCK DOWN A FRAUD."

as one of his postings claimed, perhaps disingenously: "It wasn't me, it was the swarm." What the heck is THAT supposed to mean?

Thanks for posting this. I particularly like the term: "online avenger Buckhead."

I love the title Time chose to use on its cover: "Who owns the truth." How old media of them. Certainly CBSNBCABC, Time, Newsweek, and newspapers from New York to L.A. don't own the truth.

"... Atlanta with a history of pugnacious activism..." Only conservatives have the adjective "pugnacious" applied to them. You never see liberals described this way anywhere in the MSM (Marxist Stream Media).

With the exception of the bloggers comment the article is written rather fairly especially for a "Time" article.

The online story has a link to FR... expect more new FR signups from this story (and no doubt more PO'd RATS, too).

Notice in the article a parenthetical aside stating that the superscript assertion has been disproven. I disagree. I have not seen an adequate explanation which shows that the superscript, as shown in the forged documents, could have come from a 1970s era typewriter. One of President Bush's documents has something akin to a superscript (a small "th" next to a number) but this so-called superscript was shown not to be a superscript at all, because it was not set higher than the preceding text (as the superscripts in the forged documents are), and in fact, was set at the same level as the preceding text (just smaller in size). If I weren't a news junkie, I would have read over that parenthetical statement and would have spent the rest of my days thinking that some of the arguments against the authenticity of the documents were false.

"And they might have languished had it not been for powerlineblog.com, a well-trafficked right-wing website that linked to Buckhead's claims. The rumblings filtered up to Matt Drudge, who linked to Power Line, setting off a surge of publicity.

Had this not come from FR this would not have been history in the Culture War.
