It does show how if you are in the right place at the right time you can catch the attention of a huge global audience. Without wishing to enter into a discussion of the rights and wrongs of the issue (You might try , and if you want to explore the issues) it underlines the value of original comment in blog posts. I think in the early days blogs many originating in the US, were often dominated by comment based on big media reports: US newspapers have much less of it than their British counterparts so there was a natural appetite for that kind of material. But now there seems to be a growing trend that its original reporting that really excites the blogosphere and that I think is a good thing.
