it's a contraction of "weBLOG", a sort of
personal journal or online newsletter open to the
public. editorial blogs have become something of
a rival to the mainstrean media as a source of
news for many people and were instrumental in
ending cbs anchorman dan rather's career when he
was caught promoting a fraudulent story about
george w. bush during the election campaign.
blogs also may have contributed to kerry's defeat
by exposing his somewhat dubious status as a "war
hero".
