On Don Imus’s program this morning, Mr. Imus interviewed Jeff Greenfield of CNN. In the course of a series of questions about Ratherthergate, Mr. Greenfield leapt to the defense of bloggers:
Imus: What a bunch of idiots.
Greenfield: You should read them. Some of them are pretty good.
Imus: Do you read blogs?
Greenfield: Yes, I do. Instapundit, he’s conservative. Mickey Kaus, he’s kind of a neoliberal. Daily Kos is partisan Democrat. And Wonkette, she’s really filthy. You’d love her.
The characterizations are pretty close. Instapundit is more libertarian than conservative but, hey, Greenfield was on a roll.
I’d that the hipper folks in Big Media (or those who wish to appear so) are checking blogs out.
