ABC on How to Edit a Blog

In an entry about Edward’s supposedly energy efficient home, Jake Tapper at the Political Radar gave the world a small glimpse of how the old media does blogging.

At the top of the entry was a paragraph stating that the post was almost ready for clearance, and referenced the final paragraph (reprinted below) approvingly, saying that it sounded bloggish. Now, of course, said editorial paragraph is gone (you’ll have to take my word for it, sadly), but I’m glad to report that the final bloggish paragraph remains.

ABC News cannot confirm, however, whether or not the Edwards campaign’s hotel intends to leave the lights on for them.

Why am I posting this? Am I making fun of ABC? Not really, my own editorial process consists of running my posts past my stuffed bear. I just thought a little insider blogging critique would be bloggish.
