Ramblings' Journal

Congratulations, Powerline!

Powerline earned "blog of the year" honors from Time in this week's issue (though the article is only available online if you subscribe to the dead-tree edition of Time), primarily for their role in uncovering the CBS News - "Rathergate" scandal. I'm proud to have them on my blogroll, and to have corresponded with them and the other blogs who have gained national notice over the year.

Plenty of sources in the mainstream media continue to ignore blogs, but the bottom line is that we - as a whole - are an important of the news stream in the world today, and we get information and attention focused to where it's necessary.

Of course, it's also fun to take digs at the "bigs" once in awhile, too.
