To Blog or Not to Blog�

2005-06-14

I see a time when blogs replace news. Maybe not breaking news, but regular articles, yeah verily. It�s already happening. News services use popular blog sites as sources.

This doesn�t really surprise me. People who care about the item of the day will write about it. In the words of my stepson, �No duh.� Objectivity is impossible. News services have tried for generations, but have always failed. Money, which fuels newspapers and news magazines, always prevails. Only the unpaid commentary, which blogs now provide, can give commentary uncontaminated by lure of cash.

Of course, the moment a blog spot is supported by cash, it�s no longer commentary, it�s advertisement.
