Pajama People Award
Today's Washington Times have declared bloggers as their Nobles of the Week.
They did it to former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, former New York Times Editor Howell Raines, the BBC, John Kerry's Vietnam record, and now they're doing it to CBS News and Dan Rather. They are the Web log writers, "bloggers" for short, who, with little more than a computer, modem and a conscience, have shaken the political world, and the media that covers it, with an amazing record of scoops, forcing in many cases resignations of very important people......A few honorary mentions are in order: Jim Geraghty of Kerry Spot (nationalreview.com); Ed Morrissey of Captainsquartersblog.com; Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.com; the writers of Powerlineblog.com and Littlegreenfootballs.com; the writers and editors of Realclearpolitics.com; and the ever-vigilant freerepublic.com.
For their dogged pursuit of the truth in line with the honored tradition of American journalism, the bloggers are the Nobles of the week.
They left out Bill of INDC Journal, who did an excellent job locating & interviewing a real expert....not to mention refuting and getting a retraction of the Boston Globe's misquote of the same expert.
And a hypertext link to each of the 'honorable mentions' would've been polite.
Newbies.
