62. May I say that I don't think he's being a dick?
The blogs don't have editors. The key to factual and accurate reporting is self vetting.

If we all worship the writer of a story and don't vet it, we are on the road to serious problems with reliability and accuracy.

The MSM has that problem because its bought off. I for one would like to be able to depend on blog reporters and it appears that we have a serious problem with the reporting on this issue.

Why can't we ask for a reality check from blog reporters?
