Power Line [1] managed to get their server running again. Says Hndrocket, who must be tripping on all of this…..
Tomorrow morning, dinosaur media across the country will be headlining the 60 Minutes “scoop” as a blow to the Bush campaign. Before their newspapers are even printed, not only is the story obsolete, but CBS is in full retreat. As Stephen Hayes reported earlier today, Power Line “led the charge” against the 60 Minutes hoax today. But the credit really goes to the incredible power of the internet. We knew nothing; all of our information came from our readers. Many thousands of smart, well-informed people who only a few years ago would have had no recourse but perhaps to write a letter to their local newspaper, now can communicate and share their expertise in real time, through sites like this one. The power of the medium is incredible, as we’ve seen over the last fourteen hours.
A line from a favorite book of mine comes to mind: “There’s a new player on the field… with a very formidable bat.” The player, of course is the ‘net.
