This guy is definitely scared that he is losing control!! The new media is a danger not to the public, but to THIS guy's ego!

"strong probability of fraud and abuse",

Maybe he is referring to Dan Rather...

[Rick.Donaldson]

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....

Or Jayson Blair, or Janet Cooke, or....

My answer to this nut prof:

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

[Liberty Valance]

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!

[TomGuy]

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.

The link below is one of the main reason the liars, er so called journalists want to control/monitor/censor us.

People like David Hazinski should be regulated by Ann Coulter.

[relictele]

I googled her and found she’s the new editor of the Des Moines Register (aka The Mouse That Roars) - what was/were her specific transgression(s)?

[TomServo]

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.

[relictele]

Oops - or the old one. She’s gone to U of Miami?

[CSM]

“People like David Hazinski should be regulated by Ann Coulter.”

She is welcome to “regulate” me any time she pleases.
