From the Department of “Oh Really?”
Bloggers battle old-school media for political clout :
WASHINGTON -- When a writer for The New Republic, the 92-year-old doyen of elite Washington opinion journals, accused the nation's most prominent political blogger of using his online clout to hush up a potential scandal involving a former business partner, he knew there might be some backlash from the so-called ``new media.“But he didn't expect death threats.
These so-called death threats: is Zengerle, he of made-up email fame, going to release these with email headers intact? Otherwise, I'm more than a little skeptical that such a thing exists. Especially since the subject isn't mentioned again in this discussion of the DailyKos/Markos Moulitsas vs. New Republic kerfuffle. Not to mention that the right wing thug-o-sphere actually is issuing death threats!
