There’s been talk around the blogs about systematically tracking reporters, assigning a blogger to analyze the reporting of a specific professional journalist. I don’t think this is a very good idea.
It would be much better to track the candidates by issues, rather than watching reporters.
What you’ll find out when you track reporters is that they aren’t doing their job. This has very limited value.
Fortunately, the blogosphere is big enough to accommodate both approaches at once.
