Congratulations!

We're ABC News' People of the Year.

Except themonkeybear. I don't think he even knows how to blog. Poor sap.

Yeah, but I bet they'd rethink their nomination if they had seen those videos we did. ;)

I thought at first you meant the new Canadian marriage contestants...

For a second there, I thought it was Canadians. You know. That country in North America that's actually free.

Apparently the good folks at ABC News haven't read the majority of blogs out there.

99% of bloggers. There are a few out there doing original, non-trivial content.

Well in reference to ABC just how much nose to the gun metal reporting do they do themselves, anyhow? The major network newsroom programs are virtually reading out White House press releases with a dash of editorial. So I totally agree that bloggers need journalists. But I think my point remains that the quality of the TV reporting lacks so much that people are heading elsewhere. To the sources ABC and others use themselves.

That is the small group of actually-thoughtful and educated political bloggers. A rare breed.
