AP Editor Run Over By Blogger's Tank
Figuratively speaking, of course.
From The Mudville Gazette (and yes, you should read the whole thing):
Indeed. (Hat Tip: Instapundit)...Note to AP Technology Editor Frank Bajak:
Meet CPT Neil Prakash. His first hand accounts of the battle for Fallujah kick your guy's ass. He won't get a Pulitzer for his writing, but he did earn a Silver Star for his efforts. But part of the theory is correct, like the Times, I'm sure he'd credit a bulwark of experience, credibility and financial, medical, legal and logistical support for his accomplishments, and probably the guys who went in with him too. I suppose we could call them a "staff of savvy locals." Frankly, you've really got to expand your knowledge base, build credibility and respect before publishing things about web logs. wade a little deeper into the blogosphere one of these days if you get some time.
On the other hand, to give credit where due, no one covers the insurgent side of the war quite like the AP.
