But it makes no difference whether the bloggers were partisans or not. CBS and Dan Rather must have been blind to run a story based on such bogus documents. They have blown their reputations.

Excellent way to boil it down to two sentences. Leave it to the Australians.

Quote: "It's a David v Goliath victory by bloggers in pyjamas over a $US7 million ($10 million) network anchorman and the most prestigious television news organisation in America."

Since when has CBS been prestigious? It has long been biased, and its been years since Dan Rather sought truth. CBS has always had a black eye.

...($10 million) network anchorman...

Is that what the dung heap is worth - or what he 'makes' a year?

"These bloggers have no checks and balances," said Klein. "You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances and a guy sitting in his living room in his pyjamas, writing."

Checks and balances = reporter sitting in an office skewing the news as he expects the boss wants it, passing it along to fact-checkers who long for the days of Clinton, and up to Editors who hate "Conservatism" and use PC guidelines to decide what stories are best left un-told, while others are to lead the news for the next 8 months no matter what!

Some checks and balances they supply.

But I do go "commando" as befits an internet warrior!

Dan Rather and CBS have reduced the fifth estate to a new low.

"We've got an army of citizen journalists."
...who have assumed the responsibility that professional journalists have neglected and the authority that they have abdicated.
"The mainstream old media can benefit from the blowtorch of the blogosphere in lifting its standards of accuracy."
Yes, it can, but it won't. It has no interest in accuracy or truth. It is committed to propaganda. That's the problem.
"Back at CBS, Rather seems to think the pyjamahadeen are part of some vast right-wing conspiracy"
...and that truth is a right-wing contrivance.
"CBS and Dan Rather must have been blind to run a story based on such bogus documents.
Yes, in the sense that Oedipus and Jocasta were blind (i.e. before their epiphany). They were all blinded by hubris and denial.

Rather and the rest of the CBS staff would have been wise to pay attention in Greek Lit. class back in college. They might not have had to repeat some very unpleasant history if they had.
