Blogs On The Warpath
The MSM depicts bloggers as pajama wearing wannabees; quasi-journalists without the "sources" to get things right. Rather, accuracy is crucially important in the blogosphere; unlike the impeccably dressed reporters writing for the NY Times, the boxed in talking heads on CNN or the 6 0'clock News anchors, errors have to be admitted on the day of the mistake or readers will jump all over you... Looks like the free ride is over for sloppy opinionated partisans disguised as straight News Men.
Take the Eason Jordan story. Jordan was CNN's chief news executive who shot off his mouth when he accused US soldiers of deliberately killing journalists in Iraq. He did so on a panel that included democrats Barney Franks and Chris Dodd and the event was covered by the full Press...they didn't print a word of it until bloggers descended like locusts demanding to see Jordan's evidence. Release the Tape!! Jordan was forced to resign because of the case made by bloggers. Another embarrassment for CNN and another scalp for the blogosphere.
The NYT responded to the hoopla with a sanitized account of Jordan's comments..the presence of Franks and Dodd was omitted so that the Times could blame the "out-of control" conservative head hunters trolling cyberspace for another Liberal trophy. When Jordan tried to cover his tracks, Barney Frank, to his credit, contradicted Jordan's retro-spin, "I meant collateral damage". No, no, no..according to Franks this is what Jordan said: "I knew of about 12 journalists who had not only been killed by American troops, but had been targeted as a matter of policy." Two down.(three if you count Rather)
The Left Wing Bloggeronimos, in a feeble attemp to equal R-bloggers with the pathetic "outting" of WH reporter, James Gannon or Guckert if you choose to focus on the man's personal life rather than IF his journalistic credentials qualify him to be included in the gaggle of puffed up blow hards at Presidential press conferences; have literally exposed a lot of irrelevant behavior because, (tell me if I'm wrong), there is NO STORY...this flap amounts to a whole lotta nuttin. So what if he asked soft ball questions? I can remember some reporter asking Clinton, "Why is the RWC so mean to you?"...The usual suspects in Congress are piling on..Waters, Boxer, Conyers, Slaughter..are trying their best to link this to their other fondly forgotten story..Valerie Plame..they call poor Gannon, aka Gannon...he was a gay hooker; Worse..he was a conservative blogger on GOPUSA?
Sheeeesh..They never learn..attack the message NOT the messenger?..Ah but that's the rub for the Left..when they have NO MESSAGE, they make one up. That's our cue to check their sources and ambush them at the pass....another bad hair day for Left Wing Bloggers and the Democratic Party. Scalped!!
