This will help to kill their plan to increase readership.

“The Washington Post just hired Greg Sargent away from the reporting-heavy liberal blog empire TPM, to run a new blog for them.

Greg’s move is both a reminder of how the new liberal reporting infrastructure –TPM and Huffpo, in particular — were as much competitors as any newspaper in breaking news this cycle; and a sign of how porous the barriers, which used to be fairly substantial, between “MSM” and “blogopshere” (and, for that matter, political campaigns and advocacy groups) have become. Way back in 2003, I replaced Greg on the very print-y New York Observer’s City Hall beat, and I suspect his variety of career path, which ran via a newspaper, a magazine, an ideological online outfit, and an old-media monolith, is going to become far more common as time goes on.”

Funny this should come from The National Obama Apologetic, or “The Politico”. Sweetness and Light adds:

“Anybody who has ever had the misfortune to happen upon the Talking Points Memo site knows their “talking points” come directly from the Democrat National Committee.

They don’t even pretend otherwise.

Greg’s move is both a reminder of how the new liberal reporting infrastructure –TPM and Huffpo, in particular — were as much competitors as any newspaper in breaking news this cycle…

Can anyone recall when any news was actually broken by any liberal blogs, including the TPM or Zsa Zsa’s Huffington Post?

We can’t either.”

Neither can I. I’ll bet they assign Sergeant to be the lead plug on any “inconvenient” stories about Barry.
