Salon: "[D]ealt a weak hand in the Schiavo case, bloggers all went in on a bluff. And now they refuse to pay up. In fact, they're actually congratulating themselves for helping "get to the bottom" of the story. But the meltdown has exposed their often mindless naiveté."
Posted by DrMabuse at April 10, 2005 02:44 PMThe MSM sold the story as a memo that was being circulated by Republican Senate leadership. As it turned out, it was a memo written by a staffer for a rookie Senator. And as near as anyone can determine, the only person he distributed it to was Tom Harkin. A tiny particle of truth in the midst of a hailstorm of lies doesn't excuse the media for overselling the case.
