Maybe I am too "NYT-centric," but this the highest profile mainstream media event so far for Kos and the site of which I am aware. In our capitalistic system, apparently until you have something like a book to sell, the powers that be don't take you seriously. Since the mainstream media loves "Democrats attacking Democrats" stories, "Crashing the Gates" is a hot ticket to media darlinghood. We're just lucky they didn't publish a story about that crazy blogging trend all the kids are doing in the Style section.
Unfortunately, the "questions" format leaves a lot to be desired, and through no fault of Markos, the interview reads like a puff piece that will do little to make the important work being done on the site taken more seriously. Unless of course you count the readers who will be surprised that someone can actually make a decent living blogging or that a left wing elitist was actually a Marine.
My favorite part:
Have you met John Kerry?Only once. I was in a bathroom stall next to him at the Democratic National Convention. I didn't say hello. It was a private moment for him.
