Of course, of the estimated three million bloggers worldwide, the vast majority will never engage in deconstructing a newscast or article.

But I know where a whole bunch of them that would, hang out... ;-)

". . . In that process, the blogosphere's search lights also fell -- once again -- on CBS, which rather foolishly admitted that it had contemplated running the same story as a pre-election bombshell. . . ."

Well, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I never would have believed that CBS News would done something like that.

Amen. In a sentence, hype merchants have lost most of their WMDs. News reporters should protect the truth for us. They should 'tag n bag' the evidence -not turn it into agitprop as per the MSM (especially NY Times, Washington Post and the LA Times, who run interference/cheerlead for the DNC). (These guys make Citizen Kane look like an amateur). The proper place for agitprop are the partisan commentator columns and Rush shows where its expected. Net slogan:

• Consumers of the world unite!

I like it, True grassroots citizenship. My favorite explanation of this " brave new world" is at the Command Post. By Alan. I would suggest any journalist to read and retain this speech. And by the actions of the MsM this election and in particular past 2 months. They didn't read or want to understand it .

Good work all.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

[King Prout]

what the asshats in the "established" media are so slow to figure out: on a forumsite such as FR (which is, after all, basically a blog that grew up big and strong) there are hundreds of thousands of active members with experience in all walks of life. Meaning, we have a ready pool of journeymen and masters in just about every single field of human endeavor stopping by every single day, and we all talk to one another freely. MEANING, we "pyjama-clad amateur sleuths" have resources so wide and vast at our disposal that the lamestream media should be gnashing their teeth in envy rather than baring them in contempt.

Idiots.

They grew fat and lazy from the long summer of their power as arbiters of information.

This year has ushered in the first hard frost for them, and o they don' like de cold.

It's a nice piece but it will be lost in the fog.
