Here's some fun from Princeton. Things aren't as black and white (or is it blue and red?) as we're told. All about presentation, isn't it?

The best blogs get immediate feedback from their peers. Blogs have a certain amount of power. And the majority don't originate from New York or California.

here on the feedback and fact-checking that blogs receive versus the feedback that goes on before an MSM report such as those seen on CBS. You should watch this Powerline report on C-Span, the whole thing; it's excellent.

As for the error-checking that goes on all you have to do is return to the blogs. Try Instapundit, Powerline, Tim Blair. If you read them often enough you will come across the feedback, and it's not in the comments section.
