Blogs, blogging. This reporter is angry. He does have a point that blogging is not the same as journalism, however, once folks like him relax and realize that for each blog that is vicious or sleezy, there are readers who will "triangulate" and check the info out, or who will read the bad blogs as sort of comic relief, he will feel better. If we think our readers are stupid and gullible, blogs are big trouble. If we think our readers might be thinkers, the threat isn't nearly so great.
Nick Coleman: Blogged down in Web fantasy: "So, how is it that nakedly partisan bloggers who make things up left and right are gaining street cred while the mainstream media, which spend a lot of time criticizing themselves, are under attack?"
