Salon's associate editor Mark Follman is bagging on the RNC bloggers. Yeah, that Mark Follman --the one you never heard of from the "on-line magazine" nobody reads. Somebody tell me when Tommy Franks gives him an interview, or Karl Rove, or Terry McAuliffe. He should read Glenn Reynolds in today's Wall Street Journal:
"With accredited bloggers at both conventions, this can fairly be called the first presidential election to be blogged. And that just might matter -- though if it does, it will be as much because of big-media vices as it is of bloggers' virtues....

Now even the net becomes elitist ?
The 500 pound gorilla with lots of money should never dictate whos valid or not on the internet. Even though I don't agree with MF's BS I reserve the right to be credable with regards to my comments about his ability or inability.
To me the word accredited means sanctioned, bought and paid for, pre-approved, licensed etc etc....Mark Follman is all of and none of the above all at once . He's just one more "blogger" for folks to either laugh at or enjoy. He's so full of BS and others ideas that to try and collect them in the manner he does makes his writing out to clearly be a plagaristic piece of puppy poop on paper ! I do have problems when the first amendment blogs , blogggers, forums etc when they call for subversion, sedition and terrorist acts....... MF is close to stepping over that line IMO. Stay safe kcvl !
