kare11.com : Minneapolis, St. Paul:
Time Magazine has picked a Twin Cities-produced Web site as its 2004 'Blog of the Year.'
The site, Power Line, is produced by Minneapolis lawyers John Hinderaker and Scott Johnson, along with Washington-based lawyer Paul Mirengoff. The site gained attention this election year for challenging mainstream media reporting from a conservative perspective, including a story by '60 Minutes' relating to President Bush's service in the National Guard.
'Blog' is short for Web log, and Time Magazine says the medium vaulted to newfound prominence in 2004, alongside TV, radio and magazines.
Johnson tells the magazine that the mainstream media acts as a 'filter' that makes it difficult to understand what's going on in reality. He says Power Line tries to, quote, 'bring people closer to reality.'
Johnson is an attorney and senior vice president at TCF Bank in Minneapolis. Hinderaker is with the Minneapolis law firm Faegre and Benson.
