Video blogging is getting bigger and bigger. It got off the ground with the Tsunami, and is now common with outtakes from the cable news shows. Here is Bob Beckel on H&C castigating bloggers over the Eason matter. treyjackson.typepad.com Some of it you have to switch to IE to see. Here is the video of the Kudlow & Company segment on Eason Jordan with Glenn Reynolds, Hugh Hewitt, and John Hinderaker. msnbc.msn.com This one is watchable on Firefox or IE. It is Rony Abovitz, who originally blogged this story. He as there, and a eyewitness. It is on O'Reilly. He is quite explicit about Eason saying that "American troops targeted and killed journalists. treyjackson.typepad.com Radio blogger, which is my source for these clips, had this to say. The myopic MSM, always looking to paint themselves as a victim, are lashing out at the blogs. They claim that the conservative blogs are a bloodthirsty, savage, and unrepentant lot. Obviously, they still don't understand the nature of their enemy. They're desperately waging a Quixotic battle with a windmill from the back of an ass. So, obviously, the left is going to be fighting a rear-guard action for some time, in a futile attempt to postpone the inevitable...the MSM will have to shed their liberal bias, or the blogs will destroy them. They can do it now, adapt to the new environment of the blogosphere, and save their companies, or they can continue to fall on their swords (witness Rather, Mapes, Jordan, etc.) and their companies will be replaced by less biased ones. It's their choice. treyjackson.typepad.com

my hat off to kudlow and company and the drop of Cramer. Hopefully Kudlow can contribute more to politics and economy news vs the junk Cramer was presenting esp. with very small stock recommendations where one mention of the stock would drive prices up or down. This was irresponsible on their part to even be discussing these stocks or bringing in half of Cramer business associates. It always gave me a strong feeling of conflict of interest on Cramer's part. I am glad to see him gone. Kudlow should adopt as a daily segment the post you show here daily.. best of bloggers today.. It could keep his topics ahead of the curve and if one or two items are getting a lot of hits on the web Kudlow could expand on the news.
