Hugh Hewitt

Last night, we had a guest speaker by the name of Hugh Hewitt. He's one of the original political bloggers and has a radio show nationwide. He came to speak to us about the origins of blogging, the blogosphere, and how it has affected politics. check him out at www.hughhewitt.com
He's a mid-right republican and most of his comments are legit. He told us the story of how old media is dying and how the Internet is going to replace all media. I believe it as well. Newspapers will be obsolete because everyone reads their news online. Influential bloggers are going to have a bigger network than TV news anchors. After watching some local news reports, its mostly about petty crimes and regurgitated material. Petty crimes affect local governments, but to have big news and news you wouldn't normally hear about, Internet and the bloggers are a prime source. Liberals and conservatives also have different approaches.
