Congressman Polis Says Bloggers Killed the Rocky Mountain News, and That It Isn't a Bad Thing

Yeah, we’ve never heard of him either and we’re not sure this is how you want to make a name for yourself, but the freshman Congressman from Colorado blamed the blogosphere for the “demise” of traditional journalism- for the better.

Rep. Jared Polis is quoted by the Denver Post, “Who killed the Rocky Mountain News? We’re all part of it, for better or worse, and I argue it’s mostly for the better… The media is dead and long live the new media.”
