OK, let me see if I can get this straight…

The White House staff watch Technorati and TruthLaidBear to see which topics are getting the most attention, to be prepared for it to hit the other news. They anticipate the printed and TV news media reporting on these items after it has surfaced in the blogs. 

That means the bloggers are now forcing the hand of the media and news outlets.

A news anchor doesn’t sit down to the mike anymore to talk about what the old news generators have put before him/her. The news generators of old must be doing a hot dance to keep up with the blogosphere (or they’re going to be unemployed pretty soon, right?)

This means the news is not a media hand me down to the public anymore; the public, by demand of interest, is deciding which items are going to be talked about.

Do you feel like a Founding Father would smile about this? I do.
