Brad Friedman<\/a> is a self-proclaimed ‘investigative blogger’ who broke the story of the “White House Web site Scrubbing<\/a>.” Although today he hates to make the distinction of “investigative blogger,” he admits that not being held to the same editorial process does create a schism.<\/p>\n

“Actually, I may have been the one who coined the phrase, ‘investigative blogger,’ I’m not sure.”<\/p>\n
