Who needs the kamikaze media anymore? I mean, other than those on the Left who enjoy hitting the talk show and cocktail circuit, being fawned over, sucked up to, and adored.
The new media of the Internet seems to be doing a pretty good job of reportage and analysis — one need only recall this to be reminded of the power of the web.
The latest effort from one of my favorite sites, The Jawa Report, is the kind of reporting that the media can no longer be relied upon to perform — especially when Democrats are involved.
To wit: Hope, Change, & Lies: Orchestrated “Grassroots” Smear Campaigns & the People that Run Them.
Devastating.
The above, which explores a smear of Sarah Palin — likely orchestrated by players in the Obama campaign — is a long, thoughtful, tech-savvy and well-researched investigative piece the likes of which you won’t find in the press. Even when the target is a conservative, the press doesn’t do things this thoroughly.
Kudos to Rusty Shackleford for his fine work. Maybe someone will sit up and take notice. Someone like, perhaps, the FEC.
FLAMING SKULL UPDATE [with the obligatory language alert] : Devastating, indeed. Ace notes that the videos in question have already been pulled from YouTube, minutes after Rusty’s post. Good thing copies were made.
I see that the main YouTube account in question has been closed, too. The guilty flee….
There’s a wonderful little booklet published by Thomas Nelson entitled “If My People”… a 40-day Prayer Guide for Our Nation. It is non-partisan – so even members of opposing parties can use it. I plan to.
