It's All In The Balance?
Finally. It’s been two whole months since we’ve had a good throw-down between The Washington Post and the blogosphere. I was beginning to think the fight between the liberal blogosphere and the paper’s Web site was so much water under the bridge. Welcome to the latest round of this ultimate fighting cage match.
The spark for this week’s episode was the announcement of a new blog at The Washingtonpost.com, and not just any blog, a conservative blog. Written by RedState co-founder and former Bush political appointee (at 24 years of age) Ben Domenech, the blog Red America debuted on Tuesday. It’s dominated the political blogosphere discussion ever since, with very good reason. Buried under all the charges and invective though lies a very important point about the nature of the media. What is balance?
