"Thousands of bloggers gathered last week in the Riviera [hotel in Las Vegas] to exchange ideas, debate and plot their steady takeover of journalism and political debate from newspapers, magazines and television," reports The Observer.
"Anyone who thinks blogging is over-rated should have looked at the guest list of power players who followed the blogging herd to Las Vegas to woo and be wooed by these latest additions to the political scene. Reporters and columnists from all the main newspapers showed up, as did Democratic strategists. Even potential Democrat candidates for the 2008 presidential election pitched up to network and sell their political wares to the online community. Although the event was meant to appeal to all parties, its guest list was overwhelmingly liberal."
