I have many friends who don't read blogs at all and depend completely on the New York Times and the Boston Globe for their news. They look at me blankly if I talk about any of the Nine Big Stories the Mainstream Media Missed in 2009.
They are Van Jones, ACORN tapes, Science Czar John Holdren, Climate-Gate, Politicizing the NEA, Charles Freeman, Tea Party Protests, Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings and the Democratic stimulus.
Thankfully, this past decade brought us the Internet and all the new media. The doors imprisoning access to and sharing of information and opinion have been blown upon.
Amazing what fresh air can do.

Your contribution to the fresh air is especially fresh. While many of us -- with excuses aplenty -- merely play our small part in keeping some of the fresh air circulating, you actually let some really fresh air in. So thanks for that. My best.
