| GOP issues credentials for bloggers-legitimacy for cybermedia! |
| 2004-07-27 |
| ...At least three bloggers have been credentialed so far: Kevin Aylward of Wizbang; Michele Catalano from A Small Victory and The Command Post; and Scott from Slant Point. The official letter that was sent to the bloggers said, "For the first time, bloggers will hold an on-site presence at the Republican Nationbal Convention called "Blogger's Corner." ..."Bloggers will be credentialed to move about all media areas with access to the Media Center and the news conference center for briefings." I think this is great, even though Rantburg was not invited this time round, but who knows when the GOP convention rolls round in 2008? It's just nice that the GOP has given recognition to the tireless work and support given to them by dedicated bloggers to counter-balance the left wing spin of MSM. |

| #7 This is very cool and prescient. I'd bet it's pretty late to get accredited, now. But good luck, anyway! When they offer credentials to Charles Johnson, we'll know they "get it" and aren't afraid of plain truth-telling. In today's political climate, the wild-eyed frenzy this would generate would make such things like Gore's flaming tirade look trivial. |

| #5 I'd contact Michele Catalano, #2, at www.asmallvictory.net and ask her what she did/whom she contacted at the Republican Party to be considered for credentialing. Her contact email address is available on her website. |

| #1 Great find rex, and kudos to the GOP. It's a good start. Would've like to have seen Rantburg get their due as well as a chance to have at Mr Hate America Moore. |
