Effective last week, I threw my rant blog at rickbulow1974.blogspot.com into the self-professed free press and became a (tongue in cheek) member of the free media, based on the White House's definition of what it takes to become credentialed. This "self-proclaimed membership to the free press was started by a person named nerdy conservative who operates at nerdyconservative.blogspot.com.
As I was scanning the talk radio and the cable news media outlets, I had heard a lot about blogs and how it was the bloggers who have in effect taken over the media. A few examples of this are how bloggers have helped George W. Bush win a second presidential term, spoken the truth about a false and misleading article posted on ABC News' website, how most recently they helped a Yemeni journalist secure his release, and how they're speaking in the matter of Terri Schiavo. I didn't start blogging until a few weeks ago my mom and uncle were talking about Martha Stewart's release from prison and asked me for my opinion on the subject. I was watching the cable news outlets a couple days later and I was so upset that Martha's release from prison was all they talked about for 5 straight hours that I led with it as my first rant.
