Today's NYTimes has a decent piece on the announcement that CBSnews.com is starting a weblog.
...CBS said yesterday that it would also introduce a Web log to comment on CBS newscasts, whether broadcast or online.
To be written by Vaughn Ververs, who had been the editor of The Hotline, a Web site covering politics, the Web log, to be called Public Eye, will assemble questions from viewers and criticism from various sources, and immediately bring in reactions from the CBS newsroom.
CBS has decided to treat its online news site much the way other networks treat their cable networks. Its correspondents and producers will create video news reports throughout the day that will be distributed only on the Web site. In addition, Web users will be able to see most of the breaking-news reports used on the network's daily broadcasts, though they will not be able to watch entire programs.
"We are looking to the future," he said. "This is a place that all journalism has to go."
It will be interesting to see how this goes. After the wiki debacle of the LA Times, we'll see if CBS News or CBSnews.com really understands the online medium.

The leaking the leaking os CIA identity is extremely serious violation of the existing law.
Worse, in the case of Ambassador Wilson's wife is rooted on pure and simple political vendetta. If this is not corrected, by putting those leakers
out of the White House and their clearances be
withdrawn immediately while the investigation is
ongoing. Their continued access to highly clasified information might be used again to expose more CIA agents and their families who come
accross the line of this administration.
How many more CIA agents around the world
should be exposed, if our leaders and the justice
department will delay the action to protect them.
