Susie Thinks It's Payback Time for the MSM

CORRECTION: I made a mistake with the byline on this post: It was written by a guest blogger filling in for Susie while she is on hiatus. Kudos to PSoTd for a perceptive observation on the right's war against John Edwards' blogger hires, and thank you to Susie for the correction. Take-away lesson: Always read the fine print, especially when it's late in the evening and you're tired.

Interesting take on the War Against Melissa and Amanda, from Susie Madrak:

Note to every other blogger out there - this is what is coming if you get a paying political blogging gig. The paid scribeocracy is gonna tear into you, especially if other bloggers do their work for them. Anyone notice that this doesn’t become a story if bloggers don’t push it? That’s because the paid scribeocracy doesn’t know a story from used toilet paper - which is why they’re chasing used toilet paper here instead of a real story.
