The guys over at Power Line have already fisked Adam Nagourney’s article for the Saturday NYT. What is particularly telling is Nagourney’s obvious anger at and contempt for the blogosphere.

“What really struck me in the Times’ piece, however, was this paragraph:

‘In fairness to Mr. Kerry, his aides were faced with a strategic dilemma that has become distressingly familiar to campaigns in this era when so much unsubstantiated or even false information can reach the public through so many different forums, be it blogs or talk-show radio.’

Oh, sure, that’s the problem all right. Now that the Times’ mighty truth squad has lost its monopoly on the news, you never know what kinds of ideas–facts, even–people might into their heads.”
