Red State has collected some very interesting comments filed with the FEC today. Besides those mentioned in earlier posts, there are comments from the Institute for Politics, Democracy, and the Internet, Joe Birkenstock, and Markos Moulitsas, Matt Stoller, & Duncan Black (of Daily Kos, BOPNews, and Atrios/Eschaton). Meanwhile, I’ve just received a copy of these comments, which mention this blog on pages 4-5.
It is fascinating how so many of the comments make arguments that go to the heart of the debate over whether the media exemption remains viable in the Internet age. Some of the commenters suggest a demarcation between journalists and bloggers that appears quite unrealistic in theory and unworkable in practice.
