Slashdot | FEC Rules Bloggers Are Journalists
A good ruling for the freedom and openness of the Internet. The article states the Bloggers (herein referred to as 'us') qualify for "press exemption" to federal campaign finance laws.
From Slashdot:
"The press exemption, as defined by Congress, is meant to assure 'the unfettered right of the newspapers, TV networks, and other media to cover and comment on political campaigns."
