Newest Blog Superstar Proves Lefty Hypocrisy on Gannon/Talon NewsThe
Nashua Advocate started blogging after the election of 2004, and is now #39 on the TTLB traffic rating at over 10,000 visitors a day.
But the funny part is that they're all over the Jeff Gannon story (which is why they've risen so high in the traffic ratings), which one of the key elements to is the question of how did a news service with no noticeable means of making money ever got accredited as "real".
Yet the Nashua Advocate describes its history as follows:
11/30/04: The Advocate Publishes Its First Article. Election reform opponents the nation over experience sudden, inexplicable bouts of bed-wetting.1/18/05: The Advocate Joins the Mainstream Media. The Advocate becomes one of the few online-only news outlets listed by Google News.Imagine that! 59 days of publishing a blog (on blogspot with a pretty basic template) and he's a Google News outlet! Maybe we do need to explore how the new media are getting credentialed? We could call him the new Jeff Gannon!
