I wondered why this was not in breaking news all day here on FR. I guess that explains it.

As soon as I read TNR's statement this morning I posted it over here. I thought twice about putting it in "breaking news" knowing the feelings some here have for blogs. And considering this is mainly a blog-driven story, I figured it wouldn't last long there. Anyway, I did post it in BN, and by the time I got back to the computer later in the morning, it was gone.

As I said earlier, its a shame because if this wasn't the first place where the story broke, it was definitely one of the first.

As GWB observed, some people here have a real "thing" about blogs, but I see hardly and overlap between FR and blogs. The antagonism just doesn't make sense.

But not all blogs. Powerline is posted often and that's a blog, as is Michelle Malkin's site where much of this is also playing out. But I've noticed lately that not much, blog or not, stays in Breaking these days.

There really is something wrong here at FR when you scooped the blogosphere on a hot exposure of a Leftie boutique rag that is perpetrating myths about our soldiers and a day later there's only 120 comments.

On the Ron Paul threads, we get 200-600 posts routinely (1/3 bashers LOL). But still, I couldn't have imagined this result for your thread. Too bad.

You never did tell us exactly. Were you just googling or checking TNR for fresh info or do you have an RSS feed to watch fresh TNR blog posts automatically? You really were on top of it. Of course, it might have been posted at TNR in the middle of the night and later revised but we can't tell now and the normal practice is to note any updates on the page if you want to be taken credibly as a blog. Certainly, TNR would know this.
