As many of you know, I am a blogger, meaning I maintain an Internet Web log at hughhewitt.com where I post-sometimes many times a day-my thoughts on breaking news and links to important stories.

There are hundreds of thousands of blogs, and their number and quality are growing.

Bloggers brought about the exposure of the CBS memos fraud and they served a crucial role in bringing some of the key allegations by the Swift Boat Vets about John Kerry top the public attention.

In both cases the bloggers-along with talk radio-prompted mainstream media, especially television, to pay attention to stories that left-leaning journalists would have preferred to let die out in obscurity.

A genuine media revolution is underway, and as a smart consumer of information, you should be involved.

It is a new age when it comes to news gathering.

Americans no longer have to rely on old media whose reputation for favoring the left is, especially now, all too clear.

I'm Hugh Hewitt.
