The White House aide scuppered by blog power

Post categories:

Robin Lustig | 22:45 UK time, Monday, 3 March 2008

You may have missed it, but a senior White House aide called Tim Goeglein on Friday, just 12 hours after being accused by a blogger of plagiarism in a column he wrote for his local newspaper.

Not a world-shattering event, perhaps, with all the other excitements around ... but for an explanation of how a single blog can tip a Presidential advisor over the edge, I highly recommend this from the blogger who started it all, Nancy Nall Derringer, writing at Slate.com
