Just saw an NBC Nightly News story that asked, “who are these bloggers?” The veribage went something like this: “Blogs are the new electronic town squares where anyone is free to get on a soapbox and scream their version of the truth.” The copy definitely included the word “scream.” We were also told that bloggers are “a powerful new force in setting the publc agenda.” Um, I thought bloggers were “the American people.” And indeed, this may have been the most honest line in the report: the people are, perhaps, regaining some control over the public agenda.
