Better blogs

There are few journalists in the state I respect more than Jim Galloway, but he's got to expand his blogroll.

Drawing only from Wacko McWacky, Andre and, now, Atlanta Progressive News leaves you with a narrow view of a rather impressive and diverse blogosphere in the state.

Case in point, talking about APN's hit job on Sen. Kasim Reed. As both Grift and Sara pointed out, APN's reporting was so shoddy it's staggering.

All in all, Galloway did what Galloway does, which is be the fair and responsible journalist that I admire and put together a very impressive piece. It's just somewhat disappointing that this hit job had to even be addressed and, that in addressing it, it was treated as legitimate journalism.

Related, Grift has some behind the scenes action on the fiasco, while Sara adds another level of perspective to it.
