CBS Sees no Journalism in Blogs
hende_jman writes "CBS News online has an article comparing some politics-oriented blogs to the kind of stuff they used to run in the author's school newspaper. It's an interesting read that has some valid critiques of the format as far as journalistic integrity is concerned (not that CBS hasn't been without its problems)."
CBS and NBC, ABC, CNN, Faux News, et all are nothing both mouthpieces for the status quo. THey are the means for maintaining the stranglehold of the rich and the corporations on the rest of America.
There is more real journalism on ANY politics blog that on CBS over the course of the last DECADE.

We need an official debunking of the pre-election exit poll figures that seem to have suggested a lead by Kerry! I know, let's attack the legitimacy of those who published them!
There was a reason most of the blog sites predicted a Kerry win -- he actually did. If you look in most states that had e-voting machines WITH a paper trail, you'll find the exit polls and actualy results are within 0.1%. But if you look at the states with e-voting and no paper trail, the results are wildly skewed up to 5% towards Bush from the exit polls. Ohio is the case in point - earlier this year, the president of Diebold said "[We are] committed to helping Ohio to deliver its electoral votes to the president next year". If that wasn't despicable enough, alot of the memory cards holding precinct votes were just thrown in a pickup truck and driven to the central counting area. In one case, the truck had a Bush/Cheney sticker on it... There's just so much bullshit about this election. We need more populated cities or something, because they're the only ones that seem to understand Bush & Friends are driving the country to hell. Moral relativism my ass.
I know I'm going to be modded up on this
