In Minneapolis a newspaper columnist and a prominent blogger wage a war of words
If you don’t believe that bloggers are giving newspapers a headache, talk to Nick Coleman. A veteran newspaper columnist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Coleman is in the middle of an old-fashioned feud with one of the leading conservative Web logs in the country.
So far, his battle with Powerlineblog ” Time magazine’s “blog of the year” ” has sparked an anger-spewing column by Coleman, an ombudsman’s clarification, and a threat by a leading bank to pull advertising from the newspaper.
Moreover, it has confirmed the growing ability of blogs to get under the skin of the mainstream media. “This is just the beginning,” an exasperated Coleman warns. “People need to pay attention to [bloggers]. To watch out.”
Blogs are changing the way people receive information. It allows for a variety of opinions to be shared on countless topics. Will the blog do to news print what television did to radio?
A good read. Read it HERE.
100- I read that! Poor lee:sad: I hope she’s not in a “crabby” mood today:roll:
101-I know, poor me! Maybe an Illinois victory today will help soften my disappointment
I hope she’s not crabby either, she can be pretty tough! 
102- who are you playing?
103-Minnesota! And it’s a home game for us
I’m here. I see you had someone to take my place last night. She’s a good seed, so that’s okay.
Sorry I disappeared. I drank too much and got into a weird conversation about jobs, relationships, and the stars in the sky.
105-But K, those are my specialties!
It’s all good; hope you had a good time 
navy sis kept me good company.
Sasha better show up soon; his #7 position is in jeopardy! I’m within 20 posts of overtaking him!
Let’s get him, Lee!
You are right. It was such a clear night here in AZ we sat on my patio that overlooks the golfcourse, listened to the coyotes and were awed by the stars. You probably would have been a bit more knowledgable than my stoner friend.
Maybe, maybe not K; a stoner astronomer I might be, but I’m a theorist and I get lost in the night sky! I’m jealous though; Illinois skies suck. Arizona’s supposed to be a great place for observing!
Getting closer, Sasha…
104 – the gophers are my team!
108 – yes, it’s super clear. i would love to sit with you and figure out the constellations.
hey, you want to move to a shorter post?
109 – Sure! And me too
Sorry we’re going to have to destroy your gophers though, even if they are golden! I never understood that…
