What bloggers do
Wednesday, February 07, 2007 by Dave Winer.
NY Times: "Two bloggers hired by John Edwards to reach out to liberals in the online world have landed his presidential campaign in hot water for doing what bloggers do -- expressing their opinions in provocative and often crude language." 
Some people use "crude language" when they talk on the phone, and others would be offended if they heard such language. Same with bloggers. I would never say that all reporters are liars and spinmasters, even if I felt it was true, because I know it's not. The Times coverage of blogging has always been a weak spot.
I wish the Times editors would call reporters on stuff like this.
