You notice that ever since the Obama administration started taking top political blogs seriously as news outlets and even treating them as journalists at pressers, the Village has gotten just a little more paranoid than usual about them. TPM, HuffPo, Politico, Daily Beast and their contributors are a threat in some ways, but that's just called competition.
As Atrios says we've been through this before. We're going through it again now because the Village doesn't like it when the President gives the blogs legitimacy by recognizing them as media outlets rather than the Bush modus operandi of Steno Pool: The Next Generation.
