...success story. In much of Europe, fertility rates have plummeted over the past few decades. Western European women were having an average of 2.4 children each in 1970. But as women pursued higher education, increased their role in the workforce and started having babies later, that figure has fallen to 1.5 last year.

Suddenly the story was about superscripts and typewriters and Dan Rather's history of trouble with Republicans. Had the Bush campaign made the same charges, they would probably have fallen flat. But though the bloggers were in some cases even more rabidly pro-Bush than his own staff members, they nevertheless seemed like gumshoes going after the truth. Bartlett eventually stopped spinning and just let the bloggers take over. Questions about the President's service dwindled, and CBS was forced...
