Modem Madness (washingtonpost.com)

] It seems this morning that bloggers have taken over the
] world.
]
] Or at least the 2004 presidential campaign.
]
] Or at least the not-so-invisible primary leading up to
] the campaign.
]
] The pundits are blogging. The journalists are blogging.
] And now the candidates are blogging.
]
] Who needs television? Let's just eliminate the middleman.

] Here's the deal: ABC's The Note (which went AWOL during
] the war but is now back) has gone beyond offering its
] cheeky interpretation of campaign spin. It now offers
] free space (hey, it's all free in cyberspace) to the '04
] contenders to add their own cheeky interpretation of
] their own campaign spin.
]
] Getting dizzy yet?
]
] So now we have the following exciting scenario: Candidate
] gives speech. ABC News reports speech. ABC's Note blogs
] speech. Then candidate blogs his own speech, knocking
] down any negative interpretation by other bloggers. And
] we blog the whole incestuous process.
