The Web's Scandal
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — ... Mickey ponders the new media implications of the Freeman story - one of the first Washington scandals to have been reported online as it was occurring and only appearing in the NYT once it's over. ...

Internet Killed the Obama Appointee?
Weekly Standard Blog — ... Mickey Kaus says that the Freeman story proves "you can no longer be a well-informed citizen if you just read the Times and Post print editions." True, but the beginning of the end for Freeman came from Eli Lake's ...

Instapundit — MICKEY KAUS ON CHAS FREEMAN: “During the Trent Lott scandal, if I remember right, there was speculation that the blogosphere would really have arrived when a high public official suddenly resigned over an Web-borne scandal without the scandal being mentioned in the respectable mainstream press–so if you had only read the New York Times or Washington Post you’d have no idea why this person quit or what the scandal was until he or she was gone.

Yourish.com — We did initially elect not to write a story about the campaign against Mr. Freeman. In deciding how to deploy our reporters, my initial judgment was that this squabble fell short of the bar, since the head of the National Intelligence Council is not a Senate-confirmable position and it lies well below cabinet rank. But the fact that the campaign proved successful certainly justified Mark Mazzetti’s story in this morning’s paper, and we are continuing our reporting efforts today. NYT editor, Doug Jehl on the decision not to cover the appointment of Chas Freeman to head the NIC as reported by ...
