“TRUTH” BLU-RAY REVIEW: GLORIOUS FRONT-ROW SEAT TO RATHERGATE, BIRTH OF NEW MEDIA: I’d credit 9/11 for creating the Blogosphere as we know it (and did so back in 2002, shortly before launching my own Instapundit-inspired blog), but John Nolte is spot-on otherwise in his review of the low-budget Robert Redford cri de coeur at Big Hollywood. As Nolte writes, the otherwise stillborn, agitprop-laden “Truth” contains an insight into the minds of Democrat activists with bylines at the last moment before they realized that new media existed and that leftwing propaganda couldn’t just be broadcast into the airwaves without pushback.

And for a CBS News Division born of original sin (at the peak of his ratings influence, Walter Cronkite painted GOP presidential hopeful Barry Goldwater as a Nazi sympathizer), it was a glorious comeuppance indeed. It also illustrated how myopic the view of the world from Blackrock was – Mary Mapes had no idea that conservative blogs existed, as she later admitted after being defenestrated by them.
