While I'd cautiously agree that blogs have gained status over the past four years, you also have to acknowledge that the rapid take up of DailyKos's nasty little story might also be influenced by the fact it ticked all the right boxes on your average MSM journo's checklist.

Good post. I thought from the way it began this was going to be another tiresome "Gawd, what are those primitive Americans like with their belief in God and opposition to teenage sex!".

But the casual reader of your last paragraph would think from your post that DailyKos broke the story of Palin's 17 year old daughter's pregnancy. In fact, what they and other liberal blogs 'broke' was a cooked up and half-baked story about Palin's young son not being hers! Follow the link and see. There are good reasons to be pleased about the increasing prominence of blogs but I'd have thought this isn't among them.
