They Still Don't Get It

I saw the headline on Julia Martinez's column in the DP today and thought, finally, some coverage on the blogosphere.

While this is not the first election of the new millennium, it is the first in which savvy politicians have permeated the frontiers of cyberspace, going boldly where few had gone before to boost their campaign coffers.

That slice of the Web helping candidates raise money quickly and cheaply is called a political Web log, or "blog."

So who does she list as the pioneers of cyberspace:
Stan Matsunaka
Ken Salazar
Howard Dean

No mention of Hugh Hewitt, Instapundit, Powerline, and to top it all off, there is no mention of the Rocky Mountain Alliance or their superb new blog on the Salazar vs. Coors race.

What sort of mention do the Republicans get?:

As Republicans prepare for their national convention later this month, they have become avid bloggers, setting up special convention "Blogs for Bush" plus a string of related blogs for convention shoppers and others.

Apparently, Republicans only blog about shopping. Also, after the mention of blogs getting "mean and nasty," she follows with this statement:

On the Republican National Committee website during the Democratic National Convention last month was a game, "Kerryopoly," in which players could land on various expensive items Kerry owns, such as a $700,000 boat, and invariably end up in debt.

The media doesn't get it. They'll never get it.
