Blogs are not "news" - so say the "real journalists"

[MazeRat7]

More like a school newspaper.....

Of course, please consider the source, but some of the points I believe are valid.
So, give this a read if you have the time.

1. Yep, the "real media" never speculates. [insert WTF here]

[Sandpiper]

2. This according to a member of Big Media Inc.

Yep, keep thinking that Eric.

Then keep wondering why Corporate Media is losing its audience.

3. That seems so defensive, doesn't it? n/t

[stellanoir]

4. oh for christ's sake

If they were truly earning their six figure (tax exempt) salaries they wouldn't be shown up by a bunch of bloggers who are exposing the truth for dukey.

They make me sick.

[BayStateBoy]

5. Maybe not "news," but effective. The Jealous bastards n/t

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. And the Big Media is always "objective"?

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. "Hello, Kettle. You're black."

:eyes:

[shraby]

10. Not only that, but most of the blogs don't

have "insider" information they can use. It's more of a stirring of all the blogs and coming up with the truth of matters, adding what one knows to the other..except for places like Drudge.

8. MSM won't challenge GOP "results" as fraud - so they wait/ignore exit poll

But all they are doing is acting as an explainer of why the fraud was not a fraud - and by hiding the exit poll data they hope to bury the fraud question before it is asked.

And this amounts to being a "professional"?

9. there is no "real news" these days. They need to stop pretend otherwise

[Straight Shooter]

11. Um, weren't they falling all over themselves on the blog-bash of Rather?

Ya, ya, the pot meets the kettle and doesn't recognize the color at all. :eyes:

12. Well, when these so-called "Journalists" start...

ACTUALLY START DOING THEIR JOBS...

I just might start watching and reading their work.

Until then, I'll get it where ever I can.

And, I'll keep on putting it out there.

13. Blogs are mostly commentary

useless commentary.

Some bloggers actually do research, I wouldn't call that a blog.

Fuck blogs and their powertrippin fevered egos running them.

[kayell]

14. All official real news must be approved by Mr. Rove.

[China_cat]

15. Nope, blogs are not news

they are the samizdat of the US.
