If his blog is listed in that category, he'll get my vote ... if not there, in some other category. And that's the way it is.

And quite rightly so. I, too, enjoy Michael Bates' fine (previous award winner and nominated again) blog as well as Blair's blog ... my nomination of Blair's blog was not sufficient, though, for him to make the final nominations cut this year. Next year. And what can you say about Chaz' Dustbury blog? At 1,701,178 hits (as this is written), he is obviously doing something right!

The vast majority of Tulsans support you, Michael. The truth speaks and will set you free, brother.

He didn't fabricate information to intentionally damage the Whirled. He used the truth to intentionally damage the Whirled..there's a difference. What Michael Bates said about the Whirled was true.

On the one hand, I can see why the World would want to protect its reputation when it comes to circulation figures. On the other hand, is it more trouble than it's worth to sue the guy? Even if he did indeed libel the newspaper? I hear people screaming this is a 1st Amendment issue. The 1st Amendment doesn't give you license to write untrue (and damaging) things (don't know whether it's untrue or not) and not face the consequences. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.
