Blog Flap

Since we bloggers are mostly amateurs, I figured we wouldn't be able to get through 4 days without a flap of one kind of another. Here it is (link may require free registration).

But in an interview, Schnure said dismissing Stoller as a DNCC blogger helped clarify that individual opinions do not represent the party’s views. "He wasn’t speaking on behalf of the DNCC," Schnure said.

Matt Stoller feels that the reporter has overdramatized the story--perhaps because there are few stories at this convention. Matt is a friend, and the post which got him in trouble seem so mild to me that I'm mystified. I suppose it's "off message" to say that he doesn't get Barack Obama's appeal (I do). But that doesn't even rate as criticism.

Update: The story has now gone Instapundit.
