Power Line is a conservative blog run by three lawyers, John H. Hinderaker ("Hindrocket"), Scott W. Johnson ("The Big Trunk") and Paul Mirengoff ("Deacon"). Power Line covers political and social issues relevant to modern Americans. It rose to prominence in 2004 for its reporting on the Killian documents controversy, termed Rathergate, during which the bloggers and their readers contributed to the findings relevant to the case. The bloggers' disagreements with the editorial opinions of the hometown Star Tribune newspaper are commonly posted on the site. In December, 2004, Star Tribune columnist Nick Coleman responded to several of their claims in a piece called 'Blog of the Year' goes to the extremes (http://www.startribune.com/stories/357/5158765.html). (Coleman's editor later admitted (http://powerlineblog.com/archives/009073.php) that the article contained many inaccuracies and no actual reporting. Official corrections (http://www.startribune.com/stories/499/5171219.html) were therefore small, and mostly focused on Coleman's rewriting (http://powerlineblog.com/archives/009121.php) of his own history.)
Power Line is part of the Northern Alliance Radio Network, which hosts a weekly radio show of the same name in Minnesota.
