Now this is how to run an awards show.  Robert Scheer whose web magazine Truthdig.com won best political blog at the 14th Annual Webby Awards Monday night, wins the crowd too. The event was held, fittingly, on NYC’s Wall Street.

  Back from NYC and for the first time ever we feel relieved returning to LA’s  laid back milieu. And we note a palpable uptick in energy all over town. For example, we hear there’s much celebration in the Downtown LA offices of Truthdig as the Webby  Awards gave a nod to journalist Robert Scheer’s site for Best Political Blog - the jury prize -beating out The Huffington Post, The Atlantic, NY Times, The New Yorker and The Economist.  The list of nominees and winners chosen by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences represents the best content on the web.
