The Muck and Mire

From Congressman Conyers' letter of questions to Mukasey comes the following excerpt that is just all kinds of awesome:
The website TPMMuckraker, which played an important role in providing information to the public concerning the U.S. Attorney scandal, revealed that it has recently been removed from DOJ’s press release email distribution list. Who made this decision and why, and was there a change in policy in press release distribution after you became Attorney General?
We've now entered the age where blogs have become more reliable and truly investigative than the traditional entertainment news media. I'm particularly psyched over how the impressive work of the TPM team has actually gotten under the DoJ's skin.

The playing field certainly doesn't look the same as it used to, and I'm all giddy that certain folks are crapping their pants over the change.
