The big losers: the media.

New England Republican does a "60 Minutes" gotcha piece on the NYTimes.

I can't keep up with Instapundit. Go read his roundup of the latest developments. It makes no sense to replicate all his links.

Frank Rich furnishes further proof of the media's partisan refusal to investigate the charges of the Swift Boat Vets fairly. Their coverage has all been all in the line of Kerry's charges. Long on dismissal and mischaracterization and short on actual reporting. This is only going to get worse ans more and more undecideds, uninformed and independents find out about the breadth of opinion and questioning in the blogosphere. Fair-minded people react negatively to the bias and the plain hypocrisy they saw by leftist protestors in NYC and in the press. All you have to do is read Instapundit to figure out that the J-school crowd are brainwashing us.

The kindest thing one can say for them is that they don't understand how biased they are. They've been taught that their job is to put heat on those in power, but nobody mentions the power they now enjoy, or points out the need for true media criticism. The blogs are doing what the old media have failed to do, provide balance.
