Powerline gave it legs, though. I think it is the cross linking feature of the blog format that is so powerful. We tend to stay here on FR. When we want to get the word out, what do we do? Post to the blogs and email Drudge and then send the links to all of our entire lists.

I always think of FR as a wire service because we usually have on site FReepers reporting immediately during any event. The blogs, cable/sat TV, and talk radio use us for prep. But, like it or not, we need the dissemination facilities of the rest of the new media to get a story noticed and out there.

However, in the beginning, there is always Howlin's ping list < G >!

Not true at all. FR is read by people at Fox, by people like Limbaugh, Culter, and Malkin. I think there were a few articles were in newspapers like the Chicago Tribune(?) the next morning based mostly on Buckheads post. Powerline added much to back up Buckheads point, but Buckhead breif response was enough to show the memos were bogus. FR is the most visible and powerful news forum on the net.
