Fraudvets, milbloggers and the press

FraudVets

Let me fix that for them: "Hours after news of his forged identity broke several weeks ago, actual veterans collected virtually all the details we're about to report as if they were news, and posted them on milblogs."

Unlike "veterans advocates, Congressional aides and elected officials who thought they knew him well", milbloggers - you know, real vets of the war - tend to respond with something other than "shock" when these frauds (and the organizations that embrace them) try to set our agenda.

It's an interesting case study of knowldegeable bloggers doing the work that journalists just won't (can't?)do.
