    Good stuff.

    In my opinion, it’s the turning of the tables that is most effective.

    Forever, the the media, was allowed to named the candidates or officeholders and wrote or spoke about them in a positive or negative way in isolation.

    Blogs allow for the columnist, radio or tv host to also be “named” and praised or ripped apart.

    This scrutinizing of the media is a new phenomenon.

    It doesn’t feel good to be the “negative” news story and now people like Chris Matthews knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end.
