Year in review(s)

I think blogs are at their best when they act as watchdogs over the mainstream media. Patterico is an excellent example. He devotes much of his blog to criticism of the Los Angeles Times, and then summarizes it all with one big post at the end of the year. Here's his extensive summary for 2008.

However, it is primarily a political critique from the right side of the political spectrum. If you're in the mood for something a little more lighthearted, just read Dave Barry's prospective look at 2008.

Update (11 Jan): Retro. Retrospective look at 2008. Arrrgh!
