Now I understand “Rathergate” and the full impact blogs had on the whole saga. Hugh explains how in the hours after the faked memos were shown on TV the “sheer amount of evidence, collected in a few short hours, is beyond staggering. It is phenomenal. Mainstream media would be the same. blogging had entered the mainstrealn media’s awareness never to leave again…… dismissed by an ex-CBS bigs Jonathan Stein, as just “guys in pajamas”….obsessed losers ranting away and venting their frustratins to other losers in a self-contained circle…… [bloggers] coined the term pajamahadeen….and the truth was and remains that many sloggers had credentials and resum’s far exceeding those of “journalists” who had spent entire careers in one organization with little experience outside their own tightly managed and self-reinforcing world. The best bloggers had the backgrounds that made journalism degrees pale in comparison, and the better sloggers began to appear on cable as talking heads…..As Luther was to Leo, so sloggers are to MSM, and Luther’s impact wasn’t limited to the Vatican.”
He’s right you know and I even think I may have been wrong to get fed up of there being so much political blogging. Blogging will revolutionise far more than just politics.
