Cathy Seipp writes on the Matthew Klam NYT blogger article.
Charles Johnson of LGF writes: Matthew Klam, with whom I spoke on the phone for 43 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back, writes a story for the New York Times Magazine about political blogs.
And in a 10-page article, covers only the left wing blogs, including the worst, most virulent centers of lunacy.
In glowing terms.
Featuring a photo of Markos Zuniga, the owner of Daily Kos.
There is not one word about the anti-idiotarian blogosphere. No LGF. No Roger L. Simon. No Michael Totten. No Allah. No Belmont Club. No Power Line. No INDC Journal. No Command Post. No Michele. No Cox & Forkum. No Rantburg.
Nobody but Atrios, Josh Marshall, Daily Kos, Wonkette, and the other New York Times-approved left-wing drones.
Not one word. Ten pages.
The New York Times, with help from Matthew Klam, is trying to make us all disappear.
I don’t trust myself to write what I really feel about Klam’s outrageously slanted piece. Read it for yourself: Fear and Laptops on the Campaign Trail.
The mainstream media’s shameful, arrogant bias, up there for all to see.

About FreeRepublic, that started the ball rolling?
About PowerLine, that greatly advanced the story in those first hours?
About LGF, who proved the documents to be forgeries within hours of seeing them by just posting an MS Word copy of the text on his site?
Oh, no.
You might think that those might be the bloggers the NYTimes would talk to -- you know, the ones actually making news.
But you'd be wrong.
In the first clear victory for the blogosphere over the legacy media, the New York Times decides to spend ten pages talking about...
Daily Kos, Josh Marshall, and Wonkette.
Gee, PowerLine LGF refuted a 60 Minutes story and put the entire CBS News organization in a state of crisis, and Wonkette tells dick-jokes (bad ones, actually). Who's more newsworthy?
