WSJ discovers blogs changing politics

Instead, he says, there is a "let's see if this holds up" philosophy that he thinks has merit in today's fast-paced news world, though he admits it isn't a practice that major news organizations could or should adopt.
Oh for the days of sitting around the radio at night waiting for Jack Benny to come on.
