Unfortunately, it appears to be both 
 Richard Bennett:
 Dan Rather has plead guilty to Gross Stupidity in order to avoid a conviction for Extreme Bias in the court of public opinion..
 Of course the only links on the CBS News top stories page are to "Play... Add To Playlist... and E-Mail." None with easily copyable links. Thanks for the help, guys.
 More from Jeff Jarvis. Read down from that link.
 
But hey, it's a well-done video 
 I'm sure this is bogus. I've been getting pionters to it lately. Seems obviously wacko, yet some people whose minds I consider otherwise sound are taken with it.
 One of my wife's best lines is "The problem with conspiracy theories is that they presume competence." By countless people, all at once, no less.
 Here's Snopes on the matter.
 
It's still that low? 
 WebSiteOptimization just came out with Beach, Blanket, Broadband! - US Broadband Penetration Grows to 51.4% Among Active Internet Users - September 2004 Bandwidth Report. An excerpt:
 ...broadband penetration tends to be higher in affluent coastal cities, according to a recent survey of local markets by Nielsen//NetRatings.
 
Blogging .01 
 Peter Stathakos says Some may be inspired to emulate Hemingway or Mailer. Others might be inspired by prolific bloggers like Robert Scoble or Doc Searls.
 Whoa.
 There have been prolific times in the history of this blog. But, on the whole, I doubt its bulk exceeds the outbound text in my daily emails, or even (lately) my daily instant messaging. In fact, I think of this blog as public email. A way to do cc: everybody.
 Following links in Peter's piece leads me to new-blog promotional advice from Scoble and Biz Stone, plus some pushback from Shelley Powers.
 I'm with Shelley, who concludes,
 You, who ever you are, do what you want; but if you¹re only here to be the next Kottke, or Scoble, or Stone, quit now. You¹ll never get to their position aping their behavior or their rules; you'll just end up miserable because you're not writing the way you want, and for the joy of the act. Fuck me, too many sheep in this environment. How can your 'ba-ah-ahh' be heard when you're surrounding by people bleating the same thing?
 Someone let in the wolves — it's feeding time.
 Of course, you have to take what I write with a grain of salt. Domestic, refined, mined salt. I¹m not as popular as Robert Scoble or Biz Stone, so one can assume that their suggestions work, while my Ślong form diatribe' won¹t do you a bit of good if all you want is to be known.
 Or as a friend (someone who I actually like and respect as a person, regardless of how many hits he could send me) says: do what you want, anyway, because we¹re all just making this stuff up.
 Woof! (Speaking of popularity, I just noticed that Shelley's post is #3 on Daypop.)
 My short version of the same point: Write about stuff you care about, and link generously. That's it.
 By the way, before I read Shelley's piece, I'd never heard of Biz Stone. Or if I had, I've forgotten.
 Either way, blame Dunbar.
 
Mo Daves 
 Daves Winer and Pentecost (the former in league with Scoble) have definitions of moblogging. Dave P's blog is The Daily Glyph. I last saw Dave in New York, in the company of r0ml Lefkowitz, whose blogging son is also Glyph. See? It all hangs together.
 Note that Dave's def has already made it to the Wikipedia. Also featured in the def is Joi's History of Moblogging. It's blank right now. Here's the external source.

I'm sure the pentagon thing is bogus, an attempt to "poison the well" to prevent honest questions elsewhere.
