This American Spectator article has an interesting time line of how blogs have checked and refuted media.

The list is growing.
What I am annoyed at is the over use of military words in this article.
Is everything a war?
The way this is written you’d think every blogger out there was on a special ops mission against Big Media or something.
Are these terms this embedded in our vocabulary?
I find this really irritating.

force multiplication
asymmetrical warfare
string of advances
every dispatch he filed
helped debunk claims
shot back
trying to dress
distributed intelligence
potent weapon
in the fight against
a force to be reckoned with
face-melting
delusional allies
Port-a-Potties

And if you aren’t stumbling past military terms, Patrick O’Hannigan adds a fair number of pop culture references and metaphors. Since I don’t care to Fisk or Dowdify, go read it yourself.
Millions of blogs are not in a war with big media dude.
Stand down.
