‹ Today’s The Day - CNN Discovers Blogs •
CNN is back at it again,
It’s after dinner, and I just flipped over to CNN … it’s now tha Aaron Brown segment.
He’s just about to launch an element of his show focused on examining the use and spread of blogging.
Blog Swarm ! is the title of the segment.
According to CNN, the main target is mainstream media … and they start reviewing the Eason Jordan and Jeff Gannon stories.
They cite Hugh Hewitt and National Review Online as conservative bloggers who blew the stories up, “pushing the story into the mainstream press”, or “circumventing the mainstream media and going directly to computer users”.
They do mention real-time fact-checking … in the same breath as the spread of rumors enabled by the blogosphere.
Summary .. yes, useful, and faster but less reliable than the mainstream media. But they would say that, wouldn’t they ?
