Blogs Go Mainstream
Blogs are now World News Tonight's People of the year.
As a driving force in politics this year, bloggers covered the 2004 presidential campaigns and election. Political candidates also used them as valuable campaign tools.
"The Internet taught us, rather than the other way around," said former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean.
This year, for the first time, bloggers were permitted to cover the national political conventions firsthand.
Bloggers have taken the lead over traditional media on a number of stories, including racist remarks made by then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., at former Sen. Strom Thurmond's birthday party.
It is a bit of a white-washed report, but I am glad that it was mentioned. About five years from now when blogs make the media totally obsolete they will then probably start dwelling into the topics that are taking money away from the Mainstream Media.
