The Blogger who Scooped the MSM

From the anonymous blogger who broke the Foley story.
I'm not interested in media interviews. Thank you for your interest, but if you were doing your job to begin with, Mark Foley would have been exposed a long time ago. Instead of wanting to do a story about this blog, how about covering the fact that the media sat on this story for over a year. You're as bad as the Congressional Leadership that covered for Foley.
He goes on to write:
I am not Karl Rove, Mark Foley, or John Boehner. I am not employed in Democratic politics. I am not 'funded' by George Soros. I'm nobody that anybody should care about.
Zing!

To the contrary, if it takes bloggers to get the rest of the media to wake up and to report the truth as it is (not as it is funded or politicized) then, yes, I do believe that the blogger who exposed the Foley story is someone who HAS made a difference.

The world is paying attention to blogging as a form of new media for a reason. For the most part, bloggers are writing what much of the conventional media has forgotten how (or is too fearful) to write. All the more reason for bloggers to write with integrity and accuracy lest blogs become known as nothing more than gossip columns.

Would love to read more comments on the acceptance of blogs as a worthy form of new media versus the downfall of conventional and sensational journalism as seen on Fox news, etc. No more junk news!
