I agree and to me it's a truism that opinions expressed
by bloggers will vary in quality, accuracy, etc. But isn't
that the case with every medium of communication? What
REALLY has the liberal mainstream media outraged is that
their monopoly is gone. Now they can be instantly fact-
checked, and their omissions as well as their biases can
be publicized. They'd still prefer the gone-forever world
of three networks broadcasting the same slanted news at
the same time with a captive audience. Now, with the Internet,
talk radio, more conservative publications available,
they find it VERY difficult to adjust to the new reality.
The invaluable contribution of bloggers, to me, is that they act as watchdogs of the MSM. In second place is their value as a news source, as most bloggers don't have the ability to do significantly widespread reporting.
