Since the Underreported News this week is obviously the totally ignored Air America scandal (which I’ve already written about here and here), the Media Blog will instead end the week with a special announcement.

At long last, we at National Review Online, after consulting numerous oracles, reading the tea leaves, and sacrificing many oxen, have decided on a name for this blog. It was not easy, but the thousands of suggestions submitted by you, NRO readers, made it much easier.

Specifically, one day while searching through the contest inbox, the prophetic words of one Anthony Felckowski struck us with such force, we were momentarily distracted from the blur of digitized images and facial hair that is The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. Felckowski wrote:

Suggested name: Media Blog
Why not keep it simple? What is it going to be after all, but a blog about the media?

It took a moment for the words to sink in. But once we repeated them to ourselves, out loud, we realized that our lives had been altered — irrevocably. We made up our minds right then, said goodbye to the Media Blog (Name this blog! Enter here), and said hello to the Media Blog. Period. Or if you prefer, NRO’s Media Blog, the Media Blog at NRO, or the indispensable Media Blog.

For seeing clearly through the fog, and for being the first one to suggest it, Anthony Felckowski will henceforth be known as the Godfather of the Media Blog. He will also receive a National Review tee-shirt. Congratulations Anthony, and thanks to all who entered suggestions, especially those who kept us entertained with suggestions like Fishwrap Smell Test.
