"Down with Blogs"
"that blogging is akin to Gutenberg’s invention of the printing
press— except this time everybody gets his own press, almost free. Centralization and control due to cost—which led to things like editors who could prioritize material for limited space—is with blogs a free-for-all in which everybody joins the same giant, borderless chat room to type whatever they “know” or want people to think they “know” for all the world to see. "Heresniak states the blogging news phenomenon can be directly related to a collapse of reliable news sources worthy of our time.
"established media outlets are doing serious damage to themselves. And the Web has helped create a very real threat to even those news sources that still have credibility"
