Shorter Walter Russell Mead:

It has recently come to my attention that the mainstream media (or as I drolly call it: the “legacy media”) does not do a right proper job of reporting events in a way that falls in line with my preconceived notions or prejudices. Therefore I propose to use the “internet” to explain things as seen through the prism of my biases by means of a “website” or, more precisely, my latest creation: the “weblog” or “blog” for short.
