ePluribus Media a Koufax Finalist in Two Categories

by rcs1

We didn't even know.

But boy! we were definitely pleasantly surprised!

We were all too busy with our noses to the grindstone trying to get stories out, keep the three sites cooking, make sure the community was updated with monthly newsletters and all sorts of such stuff.

We had heard that someone nominated us, among a gazillion others, for Most Deserving of Greater Recognition. But there was so much work to be done, well, true confessions, we never really took a look. So we were thrilled to see that we had made the cut as a finalists not only in that category, but for Best Community as well.

Koufax Finalist: ePluribus Media -- Best Community

Koufax Finalist: ePluribus Media --Most Deserving of Wider Recognition

Also, we are pleased as punch that ilona's Clinton stops a strike diary from Kos is a finalist for a Koufax for Best Post,

and Jeff Huber's Pen and Sword is a finalist in Best New Blog.

There are many deserving blogs.
So we are honored that some folks thought to nominate ePluribus Media!!

"Timing is critical, and the enemy is getting better at it."

by rcs1

Michael Yon has to be the best Iraqi blogger out there. Stylizing himself "an  independent, informed observer" his independent writing is fantastic. He funds his mission via website donations.

In his latest, heartpounding piece "Jungle Law", Yon provides clever insight on the Army's failing Humvee armor, takes us on another daily combat mission, and reports that fighting the insurgency is increasingly futile.


He's running so fast that it's freaky to watch. The only other person I've seen run that fast was a track star during practice at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Now, watching the machine gun track him was like a video game. Except this video had real men, real bullets, and when your team hits a bomb, you really die. If Munch fires his real .50 caliber machine gun, the guy who is running like the Bionic Man will atomize into a bloody mist, and the wall behind him will be knocked down. Munch doesn't shoot.

The Bionic Terrorist runs into a neighborhood. We take a couple of sharp turns chasing him, driving over a few curbs. Of course, I am thinking, this guy is leading us into a massive ambush.

His latest piece is

Barak on NPR, O'Reilly "execute prisoners", Sullivan on torture, Jarvis - Make money?

by rcs1

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is slotted to tape a segment tonight in Chicago for National Public Radio's weekly quiz show, "Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me!"

Barak on NPR

Bill O'Reilly jumps the shark, "O'REILLY: I don't give them any protection. I don't feel sorry for them. In fact, I probably would have ordered their execution if I had the power."

Order their execution

Crooks and Liars has the VIDEO

Andrew Sullivan talks tough,  "...the latest revelations of brutal murder by torture of prisoners by U.S. soldiers was clearly authorized by Bush administration policy."

Andrew Sullivan pegs Bush

Jeff Jarvis's take on the profit motive,  "I am all for citizen journalists making a buck (having made a few as a journalist myself). But...

I wonder whether there's a conflict between the inherently open and immediate world of citizens' media and the closed, exclusive-addicted world of big media: Will citizen journalists decide not to share what they see so they can sell an exclusive to a paper or TV show? If they share their material online first, doesn't that lower the value of what they're selling to media, because it's no longer exclusive."
