Hugh Hewitt challenges CBS for bloggers

Hugh Hewitt throws down the guantlet to CBS.

Release a draft of the Rathergate report to a half-dozen bloggers for pre-publication comment (on the condition that they not comment on the report until it is released. The right list will produce honorable people who will abide by the embargo.) At a minimum, run any paragraph mentioning a blogger past that blogger for vetting. Receive their comments and publish them along with the report, along with responses. Don't pretend that the bloggers that humbled Rather and CBS don't exist.

The new medium brought you low. Try to figure out how to at least engage it. Be sure as well to e-mail the report to every major blogger the moment of its release, and to make it available on the web, and not just in PDF format.

This will be among the most scrutinized documents ever. Don't expect any error to be overlooked.

There is no way in hell CBS will answer him.

I wish I could get these guys to take on the BBC
