What are some instances when bloggers have reported news before the mainstream media has?
I'm writing a paper on the evolution of elections in America. One of the things I am discussing is the impact that the growth of social media has had on election campaigns. What I really need are some examples of political news stories that were first uncovered and reported on by political bloggers, and then those stories became widely reported in the mainstream media. I am certain that this has occurred at least a few times, but beyond George Allen's "macaca" debacle in 2006, I can't remember any. Can anyone help me out here?
