On Being a Part of the Blogosphere

BlogHouston has noted that Dan Patrick doesn't pay much attention to the local blogs. KSEV is portends to be a part of the "New Media" and even has its own Blog. It seems however Dan isn't paying much attention to local blogs, even though he is a vocal critic of the MSM. Dan seldom links and seems to be missing some important coverage of local events.

Today Patrick is indignant because he doesn't think this story is getting the play it should at other media outlets around town. He said KRIV broke this story Monday night, he said the Chronicle hasn't given it the coverage it deserves (although the Chronicle ran a story on it last Saturday), and he said some local radio stations need to talk about it (we can guess what station he's talking about). He said that KSEV, KRIV and Lone Star Times are covering the story.

I must point out that KPRC-2 broke this story last Tuesday and we noted it last Tuesday. Last week, Chris Baker mentioned this topic on his show. It didn't take up an entire four hour show, but I do remember him mentioning it.

We're pleased more news outlets are picking up this story, but let's give credit where it's due, on who's covering what.

KEVIN WHITED ADDS:
Obviously, Dan Patrick is not reading blogHOUSTON! He should give it a try. It's the blog for all the cool political and media types. :)

We couldn't agree more. Blogs, especially local blogs depend on each other.
