The overall impression I have with this article is that the author feels blogs are putting journalists under a very powerful microscope and she doesn't like it. However, examples of blatantly bad journalism from people like Dan Rather, who have a reputation of being at the top of their field and at the pinnacles of their careers, shows the bias this author really has. I sense journalist frustration with the intense scutiny of the blogs as legitimate. No one wants their job to be under that level of scutiny, nor will any professional, regardless of their field, ever be error free. A true professional should take such criticism in stride and endeavor to correct his mistakes and improve their trade. Complaining about being 'caught' in a mistake is not a professional response, but an emotional outburst. With that in mind, if a journalists corrects their mistake, then a professional blog that spotted this mistake has the responsibility to acknowledge that correction. Overall, I hope that the dynamics of the blogs helps both evolve to higher standards.
