As always, I’m reminded of the scene 2/3 of the way through the movie Pleasantville, when the town fathers try to stop people from behaving in ways other than those sanctioned by the customs and habits of Pleasantville .
Look. Blogs are personal journals, written by millions of people, on zillions of topics. Whether or not those journals practice “journalism” is a useless question at this point. Besides, it’s been done to death.
Generalizing about bloggers is about the same as generalizing about telephone callers or photographers or baseball players. You don’t say all phone callers are rude, all photographers take nasty pictures or all baseball players spit. So stop saying all bloggers (that third person plural “They”) are … anything. Because it just ain’t true. There’s too damn many of them. All individuals. With nobody in charge
