Do bloggers create more accountability?
A Dutch politician was caught traveling on the Dutch taxpayer dime and partying in NYC. Arriana Huffington was caught being herself on a DC to LA flight. Is this a good thing or something run amuck.
If the media isn’t going to play it’s role, then it is up to us to keep our leaders, national commentators and even ourselves accountable. However, it is up to us to keep it sane. Lets not be petty or vindictive. Our politicians and even the chattering class are human, and prone to human errors and mistakes. That being said, when they are caught taking advantage of the public trust, well then they are fair game.
Thanks to Instapundit for the tip.
