Time Mag Blog of the Year
Powerline has been named Time Magazine's "Blog of the Year". Sounds right to me; those guys are about as good as you can find in the blogosphere. They were the guys that blew the cover off Dan Rather's National Guard "documents", and led the charge on RatherGate. Moreover, the story was perfectly crafted for blogs.
Speaking of blogs vs. old media, if we consider the massive amount of huge stories in 2004 (the election and all its sub-plots and stories, Iraq, Afganistan, the Red Sox, Reagan and Arafat passing, etc, etc), we have to to wonder why there was no increase in circulation and veiwership. If MainStreamMedia couldn't get it done in 2004, what will they do in a slow year? Truly, the era of blogs as full-on viable news sources is upon us.
(Gotta give a hat tip to Tim Blair over at Spleenville for this one.)
