Recently, a producer for FOX News stepped into a Dunkin' Donuts in Vermont, intent on doing a hit piece on the state.
One of the people he wound up talking to happened to be a diarist for DailyKos. Read the whole sordid story here.
Ten years ago, the diarist would have had a limited means of redress. Maybe he could have got Salon.com or Slate.com to tell his story, but that would have been about it.
What's more, the chances of a FAUX News zampolit unknowingly running into someone who has the ability to monkeywrench a smear increase with each passing day, and all the screeching and feces-flinging of wingnuts recedes into deserved oblivion.
It's lovely.

Now, it's on the web's biggest political site.
