From the collage of Rather's blather at http://www.mediaresearch.org/notablequotables/2004/nq20040927.asp

Dan Rather defines the Fogosphere:

This is your basic fogging machine, which is set up to cloud the issue, to obscure the truth
— CBS’s Dan Rather as quoted by the New York Observer’s Joe Hagan, September 15.

Of course, Rather's statement was meant as criticism of sites like SwiftBoats and Powerline. However, presenting fabricated documents isn't exactly representative of the weather in San Diego.

The thing about irony is that it's just so... ironic. Wink

Funny, I've never seen so clearly as I have since learning about the SwiftVets and the blogs. Guess I must be in the eye of the fogosphere.
