"strong probability of fraud and abuse",

Maybe he is referring to Dan Rather...

But unlike those other professions, journalism -- at least in the United States -- has never adopted uniform self-regulating standards.

And they shouldn't. And the government better not either, otherwise those of us who support the second amendment will start defending the first....

My answer to this nut prof:

Get rid of the tenure system. Then we'll see how brave he is with his inane comments.

Professor Hazinski didn’t let on who he thought needed to keep himself in check did he? ;o) In case he missed it...It’s US ... the coffee achieving, pajama wearing unwashed citizens.

Elite liberals, who have controlled the media for decades are getting very depressed and desperate!

Too late.

The only way the Internet blogs and discussion websites could be regulated is to cut the cord on the entire Internet.

There are millions of blogs and discussion websites. To ‘regulate’ them would take a staff of hundreds of thousands.

This would be about as difficult as ‘regulating’ everyone with a printer who decided to print their own local newspaper.

In the old days, political parties produced newspapers. Everyone knew what the bias was and could adjust their expectations accordingly. Now we have political hacks posing as neutral parties, even when they leave an administration and cross over to the media, like Stephanopoulus, and we're supposed to let them tell us what to believe in the media because they are neutral? I like the new media and trust Americans to figure out the bias on their own without help from spoonfeeders, thank you.

We got a dose of “professional journalist” from Carolyn Washburn earlier this week. Even other journalists barfed.

People like David Hazinski should be regulated by Ann Coulter.

We have several so-called “journalists” on FR who are the most arrogant blowhards you’ve ever seen. According to them, they crap roses. Seems like all “journalists” have common traits.

... the reality is it really isn't journalism at all, and it opens up information flow to the strong probability of fraud and abuse.

It was better in ye olde days.

Journalist are for the most part news managers who do stories or write in a manner that is bias towards their agenda. This is of course legal under the Constitution but so is FREE Speech for all citizens of the United States not just left-wing liars who are called Journalist.

Gee he should take a page from Hugo Chavez and have the government control all the news media including the Internet so they are sure to get their stories right.

Mark Twain stated it best, so all I can do is quote him:

"...the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditchdigging and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

Apparently, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The same news media that brought us Dan Rather’s “fake but accurate” Memogate is going to regulate bloggers? I don’t think so.
