PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

How amazing that blogs powered by such wonderful researchers and sources as Powerline and Little Green Footballs could gather together enough information to power the story onto the front page of the Washington Post and on that evening's Nightline. I feel thrilled to have been able to witness the new media put another dump of dirt on the grave of the old media. Drudge is reporting that Dan Rather is shellshocked that allegations CBS reportedly spent six weeks investigating should come unraveled within 24 hours. Lawyers, typesetting experts, people from the military, and simply alert bloggers have unveiled an insidious attempt to tarnish President Bush's reputation by people blinded by their contempt for the President such as one of the highest contributors to the Kerry campaign (Ben Barnes) and CBS News. They used to be able to do this sort of thing with impunity. Even the Bush campaign was not willing to challenge the authenticity of the documents. But the blog spoke and CBS quaked.
