Jim Hoft of GatewayPundit, one of my favorite bloggers, got kudos this morning on FoxNews Sunday from Bill Kristol of The Weekly Standard in Hoft's major scoop of the Van Jones scandal and resulting resignation ... beating out the MSM, including the beloved New York Times.
Go here for Hoft's story of his scoop, as well as those he credits with providing him tips. How badly The New York Times looks reporting after the fact on Van Jones' past. (Snicker, snicker!)
Another reason for my keen interest in blogs! They help keep the MSM "honest" ... or, at least a bit more on their toes when someone else jumps and takes the lead on real news. For me, it all started back when The Drudge Report broke the news on "Rathergate" -- Dan Rather's piss poor attempt at falsifying and airing a would-be scandal some 50 days before Bush's re-election. (For a refresher, go to "How the Blogs Torpedoed Dan Rather.") This was fueled by several of Reuters' "fauxtography" scandals. (Click here and here for examples.)
Only by putting pressure on the whack jobs in politics and showing up the in-bed-with-the-Left MSM for the Pravda-like propaganda machine it has become, do we the public ever stand a chance of getting at the truth!!
