What Jesse leaves out of this post is that it's only the right wing bloggers who are obsessed with the notion that blogs are "self-correcting" and "more accurate than the MSM" [argh, please kill that acronym] and "big media's being destroyed by bloggers!!!" and "I'm not a blogger I'm a freelance distributed journalist" and "Bl0gggerzzz r00l!"
While left wing bloggers are highly critical of the media, it's rarely in that self-aggrandizing and demonstrable false kind of way.
blogging's great, but get over yourselves.
