Holy Shit. Even Peggy Noonan is talking about Bloggers now.
This is getting creepy now.

The Blogs Must Be Crazy
Or maybe the MSM is just suffering from freedom envy.

Thursday, February 17, 2005 12:01 a.m. EST

"Salivating morons." "Scalp hunters." "Moon howlers." "Trophy hunters." "Sons of Sen. McCarthy." "Rabid." "Blogswarm." "These pseudo-journalist lynch mob people."

This is excellent invective. It must come from bloggers. But wait, it was the mainstream media and their maidservants in the elite journalism reviews, and they were talking about bloggers!

Those MSMers have gone wild, I tell you! The tendentious language, the low insults. It's the Wild Wild West out there. We may have to consider legislation.

When you hear name-calling like what we've been hearing from the elite media this week, you know someone must be doing something right. The hysterical edge makes you wonder if writers for newspapers and magazines and professors in J-schools don't have a serious case of freedom envy.

2. The media dam burst today
It's historic. I wish I could buy blog stock.

4. And she's working to put the heat on the messangers

and take it off the message. It worked on Rather, but it's up to us to insure that it doesn't work on "propagannongate".

5. Gannon must have been GOOD at what he did
to see these people howling so
when the tsunami barely got a peep out them.
