"As long as old-media institutions react to the blogosphere with such contempt, they'll never be able to understand what is going on. Indeed, the old-media doesn't recognize journalism when it literally smacks them in the head. When left-wing bloggers took down the Talon News reporter, they did it the old fashioned way - they got ahold of records and published the contents for all to see. Talon News was not brought low by bloggers, but by reporting."
Oops I quoted the wrong part of the article somehow. Here is my favorite part:
If the world's "real journalists" see the blogs as "salivating morons who make up the lynch mob," that's because it is exactly what "real journalists" look like when we are hot after a story. Ask a CEO whose had to face the press chasing him down over some accounting issue. Ask a politician who has had to deal with the rumor of sexual impropriety. The words "lynch mob" and "salivating morons" will trip right off his lips.
