Into the blogosphere....

Compared to the speed of the blogosphere, the mainstream media is painfully slow, lumbering clumsily through traditional, sometimes antiquated methods. The circumstances starting the fracas over the faked Texas Air National Guard memos began the very night CBS aired them on 60 Minutes II, and it was more than a week before CBS admitted they had been duped. Now that mainstream media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, have finally caught up, it leaves CBS left holding the bag. It's CBS's move, and nothing short of a very public exposé and apology will fully restore their credibility. The repurcussions of not doing so could prove to be explosive, not only for CBS, but for the John Kerry campaign, as well.
