Answering Back to the News Media, Using the Internet

Interesting article on the blogosphere's "corrections" of the main stream media. This isn't really a fundamental change: people and corporations who've felt themselves wrongs by the media have struck back for years with paid print advertising and small pamphlets. What's different is that the scope of the reply/rebuttal is now global, and the cost to "strike back" has been lowered dramatically as well.

Subjects of newspaper articles and news broadcasts now fight back with the same methods reporters use to generate articles and broadcasts.
