Reason number 586 that blogs are better than the "real media":

Jayson Blair (search) was a big “get” for Katie Couric, who did the first of the three or four thousand broadcast interviews with him. In fact, Larry King was so impressed with Katie’s “get” that he invited her on his CNN show to talk about how she got the “get”— demonstrating that if the “get” you get gets enough publicity, you get to be a “get” yourself.

Got it?
