I don't understand what Hugh Hewitt's problem is with this. How is what My Favorite Headache posted any different than people blogging the hurricane? Hugh links to blogs of eyewitness accounts. The very nature of eyewitness accounts is one person's impression and observations, subject to human error as is generally understood.
There is no reason for him to suggest that MFH is any less credible than a bunch of bloggers.

For starters, MFH is not an "eyewitness". I believe the point was Hewitt wants to deal with the real news, not just "you won't believe it" second-hand based stories.
Clearly there are more direct sources on which to base rational discussion.
Actually, he expresses his rationale very well. Maybe he picked a lousy example to make his point. That sort of mistake happens all the time.
But EveningStar made a good point - if the posting is unreliable gossip, then it's better to not provide a link to it. A more direct route to remove the post would be to contact Admin Mods here; and failing that, to pretend FR doesn't exist.
