Cool.
Now I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealosy,. I sense that some people don’t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because every body wants a piece of the action; this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is that it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites: Powerline and FreeRepublic. And FreeRepublic has been one of the most impugned blogs / websites in the history of websites by the very institution that has been brought down.
When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives, he means those who lurk at FreeRepublic. Who is FreeRepublic, it’s ordinary Americans – liberals look down at ordinary Americans, don’t know have enough decision making power, [?] do the right thing, not smart enough …
You don’t know how much it grates on them at CBS that its something like FreeRepublic or one of their chat rooms or one of the FReepers there or the Powerline … you have no idea that it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. An average, ordinary untrained journalist that … you just do not know how this irritates them inside. More than the fact that they got caught, it’s who caught them that irritates them.
And, so just as I started out … I was a fad, and I was a liar, and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of Time said. So now the same things are being said about the bloggers. Fox news has had its turn and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left.
Even mentioned Freepers. Said we were scum of the earth to the elite media.
This is great. He's really talking up FreeRepublic.
Mentions Freerepublic several times!!!!!!
Awesome!

"Because News Reporting is too important to be left to the Journalists"
Big time focus on Freerepublic! Let's hope someone puts up a transcript when available!
Yes, I heard it. It made me proud to be an ordinary American!
Freeper Bump!
They are afraid of us.
Where is the Time story he mentioned re "Are bloggers good for Democracy?"
ATTABOY Rush!
I heard the piece, he noted how the snobs and elites hate to lose to the common man.
