On Christmas evening, Bill Roggio, an independent civilian military blogger at ThreatsWatch.org joined us on Pundit Review Radio for our Christmas Salute to the Troops. Bill was also kind enough to join us for an hour the next day as well as we filled in for John DePetro from 9-noon.
It was great to be able to bring Bill’s perspective as an embedded blogger to the huge daytime audience at WRKO. We touched on several topics that morning, briefly mentioning that Bill was featured that day in a Washington Post article about milblogs.
Well, it turns out that Bill has numerous complaints about the shoddy treatment he received from the paper. First, he fired back on his blog. Now he was written a further rebuttal at National Review Online which you should all check out,
