The Weekly Dish (New York Times)

I have to say I was still surprised by the news of Howell Raines' and Gerald Boyd's resignation. It wasn't because they didn't deserve to resign. What has happened to the country's paper of record in the past two years has been nothing short of horrifying. From blatant imposition of left-liberal spin, to fabrications, to corner-cutting by Raines favorites to the trashing of the NYT brand, it has been an extraordinary story of how one person could do that much damage in so short a time. But I still feared that the close relationship between Mr. Raines and the publisher of the Times, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., would ensure his survival. I was wrong. How thrilled I am to have been wrong.

Andrew Sullivan is right at the cutting edge of communications today. He's even ahead of Drudge. And this article is spot on.

Latest column, now up on UPI and FR, and due to be in the Asheville Citizen-Times on Sunday, "Surviving in the Smokies."

There is a bit of self-congratulation in this, but it is probably well deserved. Internet voices, including those on FR, have created a new environment.

These are exciting times...and I am thrilled to be in on the media revolution.

He's been posting much the same all week on his own site. I agree with you, I'd rather read the op/ed than link. Personalities are important anywhere! Which party hides/spins better than the closet left?

The media is changing. Maybe journalism will.
