    Actually the reason for the venom towards blogs

    The msm is very worried. They know the decline in viewership or readership is largely due to people going online.

    They know they had failed us and that the cheerleading for the right and Bush, the iraq war, and trying to be like Fox news, lost them credibility. Getting it back is not so easy when the evil bloggers have given transparency, credibility and the truth. they cannot spin it and frankly, do not know how to get the people back. They are somewhat aware they are seen as living in a bubble and are disliked for their insider status.

    They know the readers are quite loyal to the bloggers and believe them. They know they are being laughed at and held in comtempt.

    Even with the elections they are clueless. They have picked one like them to cheerlead for: Hillary. And are questioning everything about the outsider, or blogger: Obama. she has the same problems as they do with us.

    But, they don't see it. Because just cheering a dem should bring us back. They don't see that the dem of choice is like them.

    So, they are in a snit. we still don't believe them and have abadoned them for you guys and they know they are becoming not relevant.
