Journalist turned blogger Andrew Sullivan breaks down the real impact bloggers had in Rathergate in an op-ed published this week in Time magazine. Andrew writes...
Does this mean the old media is dead? Not at all. Blogs depend on the journalistic resources of big media to do the bulk of reporting and analysis. What blogs do is provide the best scrutiny of big media imaginable—ratcheting up the standards of the professionals, adding new voices, new perspectives and new facts every minute. The genius lies not so much in the bloggers themselves but in the transparent system they have created. In an era of polarized debate, the truth has never been more available. Thank the guys in the pajamas. And read them.
In the immortal words of Hulk Hogan: "Amen brother."
