GRITtv: Eric Boehlert: Bloggers on the Bus

Back in 2002 the blogosphere was hardly something that attracted attention. That spring MyDD, Daily Kos, and Atrios launched. They were all small ventures to begin with, had few if any staffers, and operated on shoe string budgets. Today they're part of the media landscape. Eric Boehlert, in his new book, Bloggers on the Bus, looks at the rise of the blogoshpere, the 2008 election, and the impact they've had on traditional media and American politics. What will become of them now that they've gone from blogging on the bus to Washington and the White House? Boehlert is a Senior Fellow at Media Matters.
