Bloggers Take Aim Again at MSM Again
As blogger Glenn Greenwald points out today, bloggers have a history of calling out the media/entertainment business when it produces material that is not historically accurate, which is what's happening again this week in the blogosphere (today's top blog post). Only this time it's not conservative bloggers asking for the true history of Ronald Reagan, it's liberal/progressive bloggers (led by ThinkProgress.org) asking fro truth about the events leading to the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
So far, an FBI agent involved in the ABC/Disney "docudrama" apparently quit during the project, and former President Bill Clinton has asked ABC to drop the program entirely (today's Nos. 1 and 4 most-cited news stories) or stick to the facts. TPM Cafe offers a full text of Clinton's letter to the network. Sakes one wonder: WWDRT? (What would Dan Rather think?)
