Mathew's comments: Bloggers are parasites — so what?

Tony · 2 years ago

Never mind that mainstream media of all stripes have been leeching off of each other for years -- I find it enormously hypocritical that they label bloggers for something they've been doing for a long time.

After all, (some) bloggers are just as good following a piece of news published (or "broke") by some media giants as some journalists [present company excluded of course]-- and almost all are a great deal faster.

I agree, Tony.
