I agree with you that the Swift Boat Vets was a major milestone in new media. But the MSM still eventually chimed in and was part of the story.

With Eason Jordan, the MSM made a couple of feeble attempts to downplay the story. But otherwise, all the action took place in the blogsphere and on limited talk radio. So it was another milestone. And a very profound one.

I would say that the big Washington Post story on Kerry and the Rassman-Mekong Delta events that led to his Silver Star, with a big full-page map, was the media "blinking."
