ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ego-inflating dept.

Sammy at Palm Addict writes "ABC News have declared Bloggers to be their 'People of the Year'. 'A blog - short for "web log" - is an online personal journal that covers topics ranging from daily life to technology to culture to the arts. Blogs have made such an impact this year that Merriam-Webster named it the word of the year. This week, their influence has become readily apparent.'"

    No mention either of any of the government's actions that easily trump Rather. Liberal media my ass.

    Spare us the Rush talking points, neo-con boy. The media does the bidding of the corporate owners of the media, not the political point of view of the way it's entry level employees tend to lean.

    The corporate media pretended the United States was the only country in the world where exit polls don't work. Explain again how the laws of math change when you cross into US territory?

    Only FAUX News would call coverage casualties of war "leftist."
