There is a fascinating post on Disloyal Opposition about bloggers who go out and get original content, not just repost stuff they find... like I usually do with "news" stuff :-) Much of the old media likes to claim that bloggers are parasitic, just reposting things they find in the old media, but that is simply not true. There are many thousands of journalists out there now who report the news but don't work for newspapers, radio or TV. They say whatever they want without any restraint by some big corporate controlled editorial board. That means it can be pretty uneven in quality and accuracy. On the other hand stories that "the man" did not want to get out now get out with speed and regularity. So, check out:
I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/
