Bloggers in the news
It's been a busy week for bloggers. First, a conservative reporter who asked President Bush a loaded question at a news conference last month resigned yesterday after liberal bloggers uncovered his real name and raised questions about his background.
Closer to home, an aide to Gov. Ehrlich resigned after bloggers connected him to a conservative blog that initiated rumors about an extramarital affair involving Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley--one of Ehrlich's likely opponents in the 2006 elections.
Finally, a reporter for the Durham (N.C.) Herald-Sun was fired in part because of postings on her blog, in which she criticized her place of employment.
