The "old media" gave a story 24 hours, and if it didn't have legs by then it was gone. This doesn't happen anymore.


Or conversely, the old media didn't give it 24 hours, and then it was gone anyway. But if a story has some substance, the blogs can keep it going. If the story has no substance, for example, if just one vet who turned out to be a scumbag was making the swiftees' charges, he wouldn't last too long on the blogs either.
