Where's this jerk been? Matt Drudge faced that 6 or 7 years ago.
A few things are generally left out of the discussion. What is in is calling bloggers right wing nuts, mavericks, amateurs, and opinionated people without facts. Minus the right wing comment, that sounds more like the journalists.
Journalism is not exactly a brainy major. The bloggers sound weird from their handles, but just beneath the surface and you find competent attorneys, scientists, computer professionals, many of considerable repute who just happen to be anonymous. My point, the journalists are no match intellectually to many of the bloggers who are the equivalent of the experts in the background quoted by journalists.
The MSM can continue a little longer in their hubris since whoever is still listening to them is unaware of the blogsphere or news streaming sites such as this and Lucianne. They'll get over it. Well, at least soon they'll really be gone whether they get over it or not.
Good thing this guy is a professional backed by vast network of checks and balances. Otherwise, someone might have accidentally spelled this sentence "But now blogging is gaining buzz."
At least he didn't mention Buckbeak.
My tears fall like rain....

No, Jason, "Neocon" is a "buzzword" we're sick of hearing. "Progressive" is a "buzzword" we're sick of hearing. Now, "Luddite" is an old word that applies to you:
1) Any of a group of British workers who between 1811 and 1816 rioted and destroyed laborsaving textile machinery in the belief that such machinery would diminish employment.
2) One who opposes technical or technological change.
See, Jason? It's that simple. An "old" world that you, as someone who has a university degree and everything, can go look up in that big heavy "book" on the "shelf." (You're not one of those people who makes "quotation marks" in the air with two fingers of each hand, are you? Thought so.)
I'd email you the "link" to this "thread" to show you just how much that "Buckwheat" fellow didn't "post" on a "blog," but I'm afraid your "computer assistant" wouldn't convey the information to you....
bttt
A real word smith, ain't he?
Journalistic equivalent of halitosis.
Many Freepers got slandered in the media, this is nothing new! :)
I swear, with a very few exceptions (and there are exceptions, you know who you are :D ) journalism majors are just about the most abysmally stupid people on the face of the planet.
Bar none.
Thank Heaven we have a way to learn about the world without it first being filtered through their notion about what we "sheep" ought to believe.
