I received a few e-mails from CQ readers informing me that NBC Nightly News showed a couple of screen shots of my blog tonight. In a story called “Blog Power,” Jonathan Alter notes that blogs have developed substantial power to change and shape the political and media environment. He pointed to three people who have lost their jobs due to blogs — Trent Lott (showing Eschaton), Dan Rather (showing Power Line), and Eason Jordan, with Captain’s Quarters in the background.
If you’re watching the news on the West Coast, you’ll see this at 6 pm PT. If you’ve missed it like I did, you can watch the segment at The Political Teen, who captured it and now hosts the clip. (In fact, check out his entire blog.) It’s not a bad segment, even if it contains the ubiquitous hands-typing-on-keyboard shot. Since they show my URL as the entry, I won’t gripe about that too much this time. (hat tip: CQ readers Gregory and Beege)

Thus every blogger, in his kind, is bit by him who comes behind.
