“NO DISPUTING IT — Blogs Are Major Players:” Hugh Hewitt has some favorite paragraphs from this Los Angeles Times piece on blogs and the CBS forgery story.

But my favorite part is what’s not there — there’s no mention of Instapundit (beyond an oblique reference to pajamas). And there shouldn’t be. I took most of Thursday off, with only a passing reference to the forgery story. I stirred myself to blog a bit that evening, but by then the rest of the blogosphere — especially the Power Line guys — had done all the heavy lifting.

For a long time, people kept telling me about the centrality of InstaPundit. I always thought they were exaggerating, but now it’s obvious — I make my contributions, but the blogosphere rolls on regardless. Just as my readers are smarter than I am, so the blogosphere is harder-working than I am. And that’s a very, very good thing. Especially when you look at the credentials of some of the folks blogging on this subject.

UPDATE: A pajama reference here, too! Jonathan Klein is probably already regretting that remark.
