    Seriously, we link to enough of Instapundit's work without giving him due credit.

    Enough is enough people!

    Check out
    instapundit.com. Glenn Reynolds is one
    of many who provide fanatastic daily
    commentary and pointers to important news.
    I shifted from TV news to web news a few
    years ago, and now I've shifted more toward
    blogs for national and international news.

  3. Re:Blogs (and /.) are most definitely journalism! by Drizzten · · Score: 1 · on Blogging for Dummies?

    Indeed, after reading news reports over the last few years, I've grown weary of the much-overused "senior administration official" or other source-naming cop-outs. It seems like half of what we're supposed to take seriously in the news media is anonymously spoken. I hate it on several fronts, the two most important being the requisite level of trust we must have in order to believe these vindictive and lying bastards and the distressing conclusion that far too many people in positions of power would rather speak their mind from the shadows rather than be honest and open about it. Yeah, there are occasions when source secrecy is very important and essential to the story being reported...but it's gone way, way too far.

    As for the opinons of some who believe weblogs don't create news, I totally disagree. See the current turmoil created by Eric Alterman's recent foray into blogging (after commenting on the phenomenon negatively for some time), the community of readers who disseminate and discuss what Mickey Kaus and Glenn Reynolds have to say, Andrew Sullivan's staunch stance on the Catholic scandals, the rise of the American Prospect's and National Review's reporting and commentary and other cases where the bloggers themselves created news by commenting on something else. And let's be honest here, just because the news they created wasn't reported on by the AP or UPI and didn't make Nightline or Good Morning America doesn't lessen its news status, for it is news to the community they are part of.

  5. Libertarian Blogs have been on this for a week... by Donut · · Score: 2, Informative · on The Customer is Always Wrong

    Check out this log, and search for Hollings. The main point from the BlogSphere is that Hollings, the committee chairman, is bought and paid for by the entertainment industry, and why would the same industry give themselves negative press?

    The good news is that the "evil" republican House seems to be willing to tell Hollings to take a leap.
