Would like to see the names of those big name professionals who do this 'legwork'. . .could he name one?
LOL. . .and don't you know ;^)
Ha. If they only knew. Some of us are award-winning journalists who got drummed out because we wanted to report the truth and they didn't want to print it.
Send ANTONIA ZERBISIAS to the DUmmie board, ooops, that's probably where he/she got his info in the first place!
Love the badge!!
Except, we're not a BLOG. We are a conservative news source!
Little difference though.
How nice if "professional" journalists went away.
Envision a world where any politician can be asked a question by any citizen, and get a straight answer, which may or may not wind up blogged, with distribution uncertain- ranging from three to three million viewers on a given day, or may not be widespread until something else happens.
Imagine a politician or notable or "star" not having the Old Media act as cover; act as a partisan pusher of agendas; act as a branch of the Left, cover up unpleasant facts.
Imagine a citizen going to an event and reporting on it, without a "press pass" that limits access to the special, the elite, the tame reporters who will not rock the stat.
I'm starting a company that will sell puppy training pads and birdcage liners and fire starters, because when print newspaper disappears, people will still need these ancillary services the Old Media provides.
Hey I like that, you making up a batch of them for sale???
Nothing seems to scare the MSM folks as much as the idea of people actually critically discussing what they have written.
I find it ironic and hilarious that anybody would say something like this after the phony memos were unmasked. Multiple layers of checks and balances.... riiiight...
I dunno... the one where he refers to "the rigours of professional journalism" has to be pretty close....
Aha! But here they admit they think they're going to die...!
Well, that at least is one story they're going to get RIGHT!
And then notice that they say that we have to fire UP at them..? Hey, THERE'S some modesty...!
bloggosphere
Go Bloggoshere, we love ya, get the truth out, one more time...........keep it up,,,,,yea.............
The trouble is that it's already illegal now to broadcast false reports on the radio and TV - and what does it get us but Dan Rather and his so-called "memos!"I'm sure that certain politicians would like to regulate bloggers. That's just NOT going to happen.
Bloggers are far more legitimate than broadcast journalists, because you don't need a license to be a blogger. And the First Amendment is about not having to have licenses in order to express your opinion.
Of course, this followed Drudge doing the blue dress story!!!
ANTONIA ZERBISIAS,
Sorry Have we disturb you little cabal of arrogant biased unappologetics "journalists"?
It must suck to have your profession clled into question so often.

What a freaking arrogant idiot. Those of us that you call Parasites Antonia are the same that do more leg work to verify the stories that you write because we are sick of being fed the lies and constant slant that any reporter that feels their opinion trumps that facts feels the can espouse.
The author seems confused in his assertion that the MSM isn't highly opinionated with it's ever faulty and much vaunted "checks and balances".
Let the arrogance and defensiveness continue.
"Still, the credibility of the corporate media continues to plummet."
This article brought a smile to my face. Suddenly reporters are distressed that their work can be analyzed and cross-referenced for veracity. The horror.
The mullahs of Iran and the liberal left HATE the internet, and for the same reason.
