Love it. Great clip. It is better for the health to "blog it" than to kick politicians in the face when they appear on TV.

<P>Blogs: All the noise that fits
<BR />The hard-line opinions on weblogs are no substitute for the patient fact-finding of reporters.
<BR />By Michael Skube
<BR />August 19, 2007</p> <P>The late Christopher Lasch once wrote that public affairs generally and journalism in particular suffered not from too little information but from entirely too much. What was needed, he argued, was robust debate. Lasch, a historian by training but a cultural critic by inclination, was writing in 1990, when the Internet was not yet a part of everyday life and bloggers did not exist.
