"Thanks to blogs and other "new" media, the prejudices of the old media princes will no longer go unquestioned."
And the sooner these old media losers learn this the better.

PING! You're mentioned by name in bringing down Dan Blather.

Someone should send this to Bill O'Reilly.

The old media isn't going to learn any lessons from this matter. Instead, they'll squeeze their political bedmates to start
regulating the Internet.
Mark my words.

The unkindest cut of all?
A media consultant on Fox and Friends the other morning pointed out that Rather made his bones on Nixon and Watergate and it is so ironic that when confronted with this debacle of his own making, Rather's reaction was downright "Nixonesque".

Going out on a limb there, PC? Experience has taught me to never underestimate the treachery of the Leftists. And considering their track record of burgeoning bureaucracy, over-regulation and general interference with freedom in the name of "fairness," I'd say my concerns are valid and will come to pass unless we cut the legs out from underneath those bastards.
Sure, I could be wrong...but I doubt it.

Actually I'm afraid Prime Choice is right. The MSM would love to be able to regulate the internet and I have no doubt that between them and their politician buddies, they'll be looking for a way to do it.

The once was a freeper named Buckhead,
Who with vigilance the news he read,
He saw a report by Rather,
and said that's a lie I gather,
He spread the news far and wide!
That was the day Rather's Career died.

"Rather's credibility was destroyed."....
Destroyed???? Not possible. Any thinking American had long ago dismissed Blather as just another partisan hack making the news to suit his agenda.

Instead, they'll squeeze their political bedmates to start regulating the Internet.I agree. At least they're going to try to get the Internet under the FCC or something similar. The "net" simply has too much freedom for the liberals to tolerate it.

From there, intrepid bloggers Powerlineblog.com and Little Green Footballs, the Woodward and Bernstein of Rathergate, began to document the mounting signs of forgery.Unlike Woodward and Bernstein, the bloggers did not make up a fictitious being and ascribe innuendo and gossip to him as facts.

Does Buckhead still post on FR under this screen name or has he had to go undercover?
Hope Buckhead comes to the FR inaugural ball - it would be fabulous to meet him. He is such an important and famous person these days and we owe Buckhead so much.
