And blog will eat itself.
Big guy at CNN quits because his remarks are amplified around the blogosphere. Rather's memos get outed as fakes. Gannon/Guckert guy is outed as a fake news source by the blogosphere. Michael Jackson verdict discovered before the jury makes the decision and circles the blogosphere. Brooklyn Bridge put up for sale and auctioned off in the blogosphere.
OK, so the last two are bull. But it seems our little blog medium is becoming the new way to muckrake. Or has been and the NY Times is finally catching on. Either way, are we entering an era of acountability, or the time of false accusations? "Reality-journalism" I've heard it referred to...actually I myself referred to it that way over Christmas dinner, but failed to realize that one of the other people at the table blogs in a very different way - ie for humor (and is quite good, actually). Which, I guess, in some ways is more valid, since there's no asumption of truth, only the attempt to entertain.
Personally, I'm not really interested in digging up truths about people,as anyone who reads this space can tell. I'm all about finding stuff that you might not have seen, and turning you on to links, stories, pages, music, and whatever else I find interesting that I think people should see, if they're free and surfing for no reason at all. So, enjoy!
