It's because people like Ben Wasserstein, who call themselves reporters, are not reporters, they are opinion traders. They masquerade as reporters, and fool people into thinking they have done their job as a reporter, and what they say is true, based on fact and discovery.
Just from reading Wassersteins article, someone might think the Swiftboat Veterans allegations have ben debunked.

If that were true, Kerry and the DNC would be all over them for their ads, dragging them into court for slandering the Slime-balls name. They haven't because they can't. It's truth. If Kerry tried to sue O'Neil, (and O'Neil has dared Kerry to do so) O'Neil would then have the right to access Kerry's records.

If reporters like Wasserstein were not partisan, they would also ask the question which Kerry so obviously brings to light; Why won't he open his records and "debunk" these charges?

The buzz created by the blogs became deafening,
Bloggers cheered that the new-media David had slain the old-media Goliath.

Am I the only one who's getting annoyed by being called a blogger in the blogosphere?
No insult to bloggers intended, but FreeRepublic isn't a "blog" and Freepers aren't necessarily "bloggers" (some may be, but not every one of us.)

Yeah, it's a somewhat trivial gripe, but I wish the lamestream media would get it right instead of chanting the same buzzword mantra of the moment.

I suspected that to be the case but thought maybe I had missed a story or two.
