DOBSON AND BLOGS

It has been fascinating to watch the Dobson vs. Spongebob story unfold in the blogosphere.

  • The NY Times / LA Times runs the story.
  • Conservative blogs jump all over Dobson (maybe they all did, but I don't read the others).
  • Hugh Hewitt rushes to Dobson's defense (but doesn't necessarily agree with Dobson's described position).
  • Dobson clarifies his position. Blogs are updated with far less scorching commentary.
  • Somewhere in all of this, there is a really good research report on news and blogs and the way they work.

    Anyway, if you want to read the blogs themselves, see Evangelical Outpost for how it unfolded.
