Why do so many FReepers demand that all news, if it is to be believable, worth debating or should even be posted on FR must come from the mass media? I see too many comments saying blog news is conspiracy filled news.

About the only complaints that I see about bloggers is them excerpting back to their blogs. As you know, Jim frowns on that crap.

This is something I don’t fully comprehend. We are cheerfully restricted from posting the full article of an establishment media corporation yet it is considered distasteful when we do the same of an entrepreneurial bloggers website. We are allowing the establishment to make a profit from their journalism and attempt to restrict the bloggers from doing the same. Aren’t we asking to be programmed by the mass media with such punitive regulations.

No, I do not operate a blog.
