Rasputin's Boston Sports Media Watchdog Site
This was pointed to by Art Martone. Some Red Sox fans are pretty miffed about the coverage their team receives in the local paper. Greg Lynn is doing something about it and has created a watchdog page. He will report on textual and historical inaccuracies found in writings about the Red Sox.
This is an interesting concept. And to some degree this is what folks like Bill James, Big Bad Baseball and Baseball Prospectus have been doing for awhile. Essentially, the internet is allowing anyone to report on whatever they find interesting. It is blurring the line between audience and reporter (or analyzer). This may lead to a more cynical audience, but it is also leading to a more informed one.
By the way, mediot.com is available as is sportswatchdog.com or some other clever name you can come up with.
