BBC: Blogs vs Main Stream Media

"With the abrupt resignation of CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan, the American media are struggling with how to respond to bloggers. Some see the bloggers as an explosion of free speech, a democratic counterbalance to media arrogance and a much needed call for greater transparency in the media, while others see bloggers as vigilante partisans bent on discrediting and destroying the media".

But attempting to categorize the bloggers who blog as either conservative or liberal is similar to attempting to categorize the internet as either one or the other. You can't categorize bloggers as either left or right, because sometimes they might be one or the other, or both at the same time, or neither. The internet is one big dialogue, on going, and views may or may not change, depending on the facts, arguments, or evidence.

And you cannot take the internet, or bloggers, for granted.

"Bloggers didn't want his head, most of us didn't. We wanted the truth."
