As I sit here surfing the web, a story has just come on NPR’s Morning Edition (9:47 am) about war blogs – right now the reporter is talking about Where Is Raed? She’s also saying that right now, blogs are as concerned with information as opinion, especially information that can’t be found in the mainstream media. Good stuff so far… but now there’s a warning about trusting what you read in blogs, from an ethics professor: how do you know who’s behind the blog? The reporter says that you have to build some credibility, like Chris Allbritton from Back2Iraq.
Yup, the blogslide broke a piece loose last week. Nice post. Kinda like the Harper Index. Make your own meaning from it.
Then there’s this piece of junk from John Dvorak of PC Magazine — someone who should know better: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,970849,00.asp
