A History Of Blog Scandals

Greg Tinti | Tuesday, July 25, 2006

Allah Pundit has taken the time to put one together in response to the recent Glenn Greenwald-sock puppetry scandal.

UPDATE (James Joyner): It’s an interesting roundup and does a good job of putting things into perspective. I think, though, that this is mostly a case of “one of these things is not like the other.”

With the exception of the Domenech mess, and very tangentially Jeff Gannon, none of the subjects of the other scandals were bloggers. None of the other scandals occured on blogs–even Domenech’s plagiarism took place in his pre-RedState days. These were scandals uncovered by bloggers, not “blog scandals.”
