Is There An Echo, Echo, Echo In Here?

Conservative blogger Hugh Hewitt penned a column for the conservative Weekly Standard today. Now conservative bloggers are going gaga over all the praise Hewitt heaped on his compatriots in the center-right blogosphere.

The liberal blogosphere had similar experiences last week upon the release of a report about the growth of the "progressive blogosphere" and earlier this week upon the launch of the Progressive Legislative Action Network.

Who said the blogosphere is an echo chamber?

If you want to read what conservative bloggers are saying about Hewitt's column, go to Captain's Quarters, La Shawn Barber's Corner, Power Line and Tapscott's Copy Desk.

Hewitt also has a follow-up post on the tag-team reporting of bloggers who are investigating the funding scandal surrounding the liberal Air America Radio. Michelle Malkin, one part of the duo, links to Hewitt's post.

Hewitt's column is definitely worth a read, by the way, as is his book "Blog: Understanding the Information Revolution That's Changing Your World." The book helped shaped the philosophy behind Beltway Blogroll and earned a mention in my opening column, "The Power Of The Blog."

You can't blame us for being a little excited about the free press. After all, many of our issues (see: Air America) are simply ignored by the Old Media. I see the new system as an extension of something older: The proverbial coffee shop or chief's tent.
