Is Blogging Journalism?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-yes-it-definitely-might-be-sometimes dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In the wake of the judge's refusal to extend journalist protections to Think Secret in its case against Apple, the Net is abuzz with commentaries coming to its defense. MacInTouch points to three of them, from CNET's Declan McCullagh, MP3 Newswire's Richard Menta and grassroots journalism pundit Dan Gillmor. All agree that Apple went too far with its case and question the court's decision that Web journalists don't count."

    90% of everything is crap. That includes you

    A: No.

    It's the delusion that the world is remotely interested in what you had for breakfast this morning.
