This actually brings about an interesting point, one that I have been thinking about a lot lately. Why can't blogs not have their own "traditional" journalists? We have already seen bloggers given press passes to notable events such as the conventions. So why can't blogs organise and employ traditional journalists for assignments accross the US, Canada and abroad? Yes, it will cost money, but I think this is the next logical step in the blogging revolution. There must be a way to achieve this.

Why can't blogs not have their own "traditional" journalists?

"Traditional journalists" consort with other traditional journalists. They are in the swamp together.

Cancer is a disease that spreads.

It is far better to comment from a distance from the stench, where the air is clean and the commentary is unfettered.

Great idea, it's already being implemented. That's pretty much how Matt Drudge got his start. There's this now-famous guy, JimRob, who probably has a press pass. The way to do it is to start your own website/blog/whatever and break a story. Getting a press pass is as easy as laminating 2 pieces of cardboard together with some cool looking logo on it.

They already do Joe Farah over at WND is a bloger, pundant, columnist what ever you want to call him and his World Net Daily is a first class news sorce. The difference is If your a liberal Bloger Your an "On-line Activist" if your Conservative your an evil deceitful Lying Bloger.

It is also my understanding that newsmax has people they hire to do investigative reporting. Drudge (ducks looking for the flames) by Liberal standards is a bloger. The problem is that main stream media hasn't quite figured out that they are the last dinosaur. Why are we going to sit around for an hour to hear liberal white washed news when with a click we can get up to the min info on-line? In the hour it takes for Dan Blaber to sell his advertising and report the censored news i can read every article on Newsmax, Foxnews.com, Worldnetdaily, and drudge. and i didn't have to waste 20 mins of my life watching commercials for new cars and new drugs. This is the big thing MSM doesn't get. We can get more news and faster online than they can put out on TV. That alone is enough to make them extinct even if they weren't under the desk of the DNC

Except, we're not a BLOG. We are a conservative news source!
