I personally love the line about how <i>real</i> journalists don't have time to investigate every "rumor" because then they wouldn't have time to report the "news." ...because we need to hear about Britney's latest meltdown and Anna Nicole's funeral. After all, looking at a little think like the way people are running our country is insignificant in comparison. Yep.

(I go in alpha order by URL, so I stop in here first.) As a journalist myself, I can tell you tht what TPM does is true journalism. They investigate, they attribute and they never go to press until they have their facts straight. What's most impressive about TPM is the utter lack of "he said, she said" stories. Although TPM has a liberal viewpoint, they will go after anyone who's acting (not rumored) unethically or illegally. See William Jefferson posts. Time is obviously scared of these new journalists, but I, as an old journalist, am thrilled to see this new wave. Talking Points Memo is one of my stops during the morning blog survey.
