DAILYPUNDIT - Brokaw On Blogs

Tom's Long Count: Brokaw Sign-Off On Bloody Night

For the TV media, it was a brutal election year, with everything recast in the fires of the Internet, especially network news. His rival at CBS News was dismantled by needle-nosed bloggers and Fox News aced the networks in the ratings on convention coverage. Mr. Brokaw said the blogs had altered everything.

"I think that they’re big," he said. "I think they have changed it. Exactly what their role is going to be is still to be determined. There’s still a certain amount of hubris at this point, but I do think that they’re now a fixed part of this universe. The danger is always that you have newspapers without editors, and there will be a shakeout process, people will learn who they can trust, who’s reliable, who’s got real insights and who’s just self-indulgent—it’s very much like the traditional business."

Fair enough. Although I think that after three years, that shakeout process - at least for those who aren't a part of the Clueless Mainstream Media - is already well underway.
