04:51 - Reforming the Reformers

The NYT editorial board cries hypocrisy at news bloggers, accusing them of young, ethically shaky reporting without regard for fact-checking.

Seems to me though, that news bloggers have become popular because they are reporting what the MSM are not-- and effectively enough to have created large, loyal readerships. The grassroots success of these news blogs should be a clue that people may not want to be reading only what the MSM is reporting and they, much like the music industry, need to adapt to the hyper increase in information accessibility.

INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE.
