exactly, this reporter is a fool. Sites like FR are discussing the merits of what these Mediots are writing.
Most Mediots have short memories. How many anchors have been pushed aside to go on to editorial projects. Rather's still being around is just face saving BS.
Lets not forget this is not the first time Rather blundered.
I wish (I dream) that someday, journalists will be licensed like Heinlein's Fair Witnesses...remember that? They had to tell the truth, and nothing but...Well, these "journalists" ought to be rigorously taught to stick to actual facts, with no slanted adjectives, perjorative nouns, injection of their prejudices, and weight of their editor's politics...That's what "journalist" OUGHT to mean.
I'm sure that certain politicians would like to regulate bloggers. That's just NOT going to happen.
