Al Mohler has a piece today on the impact of blogs in the political-news realm.
He details how several journalists and political figures, including Dan Rather, Trent Lott and John Kerry, have been dinged or ruined as blogs have brought public attention to incompetence, gaffes and lies that the mainstream media wouldn't have noticed or tried to cover. It seems the public world has become all the more transparent.
Mohler, depending on Hugh Hewitt's book, "Blog," says blogs began around 1999 (ancient history, right?), are as significant to information media as Gutenberg's printing press, and that there are more than 4 million blogs on the net, with thousands added daily.
