Real Debate brings down Racine Democratic Party Chairman

Kurt Vlach knows how Fred brought him down. What's interesting is to see the media try to understand it.

How did he do it?

He used unnamed sources. He posted lewd photos. He let his opinion be known about what he believed was the unethical and unprincipled behavior of the Racine County Democratic Party chairman.

He used tools that most mainstream media steer away from, but that bloggers are now using with gusto.

And on Monday, party chairman Kurt Vlach resigned, citing family obligations and time constraints and denying that Dooley's blog had anything to do with it.

Let me get this straight. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel never uses unnamed sources, never uses photographic evidence and never expresses an opinion?
