“I’m worried about bloggers,” says former New York Times reporter Judith Miller. “(A post) starts as a rumor and within 24 hours it’s repeated as fact.” Miller said blogs “don’t post corrections when they learn that what they have posted is wrong,” but added that she was “glad to welcome them as long as they agree to the standards.” When not helping blogs improve their correction standards, Miller peddled false intelligence from the White House and Iraqi exile Ahmad Chalabi that helped convince Americans that Iraq had WMD.” read the comments, they are hysterical: ThinkProgress.org
These elites seriously believe they achieved their positions of power via intelligence and therefore they know better. Nevermind Judith got suckered by Chalabi, a two bit con man we all knew was lying. Positions of power in the media and government come by the way not of one’s intellectual superiority, but one’s gullibility factor and lack of morals! As stated above, go read the comments, they are priceless, not to mention most are spot on. Here are just 4 examples of the 88 !!!
Yeah lots of folks just like Judy are worried about bloggers. Fast, truthful information before the MSM can spin it out of control. All lying, cheating, subversive types should worry about bloggers.

I think all the media get down on the “bloggers” because their news doesnt always cut it and spends too much time selling out to their sponsors. In my opinion, The online news revolution is just the free market starting to erode the “news” outlets that no longer report all the news.

Judy, look in the mirror and say “pot meet kettle”, You lying, sorry, neocon excuse of a reporter.

They are worried because most of the time bloggers get the news out faster. Newspapers dont always print retractions either so that argument does not fly.
Sucks to see your business model become archaic.
