For those of you keeping score at home:
Vast Right Wing Conspiratorial Pajamhudeen Blog Machine:
Left-wing Media Matters Golden Horde:
UPDATE: Jim Geraghty's prediction that the official reaction would to all this would turn into a haughty "blogs as high-tech lynch mobs" proved to be prescient. He cites this from an NYU journalism school related blog:
"Eason Jordan has just been tire-necklaced by a bloodthirsty group of utopian, bible-thumping knuckledraggers that believe themselves to be bloggers but are really just a streetgang. Time Warner/CNN is spineless if not completely corrupted by its shareholders' thirst for petro-dollars. It is now clear that all pretenses to journalistic 'objectivity' benefit the torturing, gulag-building blood-cult known Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld's Republican Party."
My official reaction: hey, we were carrying pitchforks and torches too!
UPDATE DEUX: Maybe what he meant to say is that bloggers are targeting leading members of the MSM

Should you include Trent Lott? And if so, where would his head be positioned -- Right or Left?

Since there really are people getting their heads cut off in Iraq.
