Yesterday, WTTW's Chicago Tonight hosted a discussion on how the blogosphere is affecting the presidential race with two prominent local bloggers: DailyKos contributing editor Georgia Logothetis (aka "Georgia10") and Townhall.com's Guy Benson. Interestingly enough, when asked whether liberal and conservative blogs were simply extensions of the two presidential campaigns, Benson disagreed and took the opportunity to disavow the McCain campaign's suggestion that Obama "called Sarah Palin a 'pig.' " 

Then, at the very end of the segment, Marin asked both bloggers to quickly explain the next "hot issue" on their respective sites.  Logothekis responded: "The hot issue is the fact that Sarah Palin is a liar.  Period.  She keeps repeating the Bridge to Nowhere lie and the traditional media finally picked up with it."  Watch it:

It's too bad Georgia didn't get more time to speak her mind on Palin.  Nonetheless, it was refreshing to hear someone on the mainstream local airwaves call a spade a spade.
