Virginia Is For Bloggers

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot editorial headline today: “Bloggers remaking Va. political rules.” Excerpt:
If it was not already obvious to everyone, the Macaca fracas has cemented the Virginia blogosphere’s role in the center ring of the political circus. … Judging by their traffic and their traction, Virginia’s blogs are only going to grow in influence, a trend more than a few lament as they point out the blogosphere’s penchant for fierce partisanship and fact-free opinionizing. But judging the blogosphere by its worst members is like judging The New York Times by Jayson Blair, a foolish oversimplification. Over time, blogs will be judged by readers. Those who keep their facts straight and their analysis honest will thrive, while others will wither into obscurity. In the meantime, the more voices that are part of Virginia’s debates, the better off we all are.
Hat tip to Vivian Paige for spotting, and kudos for getting plugged.
