NEW YORK TIMES VS. NEW YORK SUN
Contrast the latest coverage of Rathergate by the New York Times, which can't bring itself to even acknowledge the path-breaking role that blogs played in blowing the whistle on CBS in its 1,208-word article, with the coverage by the New York Sun, which reconstructs how four independent blogs--Powerline, Little Green Footballs, INDC Journal, and Allahpundit--led the way in dealing what may be the death blow to the Tiffany Network. Would it have killed the New York Times to have put aside its Old Media pajama-phobic snobbery and reported the news? Powerline's John Hinderaker comments here. Update: Right On Red says there should be a Pulitzer Prize award for blogging. The Week magazine gave out its first "Blogger of the Year" award for last year to Joshua Micah Marshall. Send your suggestions for this year's best bloggers here. Update II: Patterico's Pontifications has links to other MSM types who have saluted the triumph of the blogosphere. Update III: The LA Times tipped its hat to Free Republic posters Buckhead and Tanker KC, who kicked things off: It was a late-night blog posting by this mystery Netizen that first questioned the validity of documents Rather cited Wednesday as proof that George W. Bush did not fulfill his National Guard duty more than 30 years ago. |
