240 have any "mainstream" eg: non lefty sites picked it up you know of?
MSNBC was running the story as "RUMOR: Blogosphere alive with stories of..." in their actual NEWS SCROLL today, which was huge. They have hundreds of millions of $ to lose if they get a story wrong, and they're in bed with God knows who.
But in this case, you have kids cross-referencing myspace accounts, hospital records, flight manifests, etc. Everything is on youtube or google. There is no 'sanitizing' this - in fact, the fact that Alaska has been pulling pics of her off their site all day, and that the hospital removed the birth list - shows that they are hiding things.
911 was fishy, and a lot of people are pissed they fell for it. Now, an entire generation of kids looks at every event with a curious eye. You can't fool people anymore. Note that many sites, like Drudgereport.com, are reporting on the story as "Left-ish blogger report..." so they don't have to take credit for it - but they still want the story out as much as anyone.
Palin may resign this week from the ticket and be replaced with Romney, I'm sure of that. For the first time, the online 'blogosphere' may have changed the course of HISTORY.
