'"Bloggers -- those who create the Web logs -- broke the CBS "Memogate" story involving President Bush's National Guard service. They also fed political junkies an ample diet of campaign grist, reporting alongside veteran journalists covering the party conventions and literally dissecting Bush down to the spittle in the corner of his mouth during one of the debates.
An estimated 8 million Americans have blogs, according to a recent study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. A far greater number, 32 million, said in November that they had read a blog, up 58 percent from just 10 months earlier."
NOTE: Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
