Something has been bothering me for months and it is time for me to vent.
Blogs that do not have any affiliations to news sources are slowly becoming news outlets for broadcasters. The old lead-in, “According to a blog” is being used to often these days and it must stop, NOW!
Granted, blogs are great to share information but remember they are platforms for people to express themselves and views, such as myself and this blog. Using blogs to collect, synthesize and broadcast news is a very risky business.
Remember content on blogs can be easily modified within seconds, content that is already used in broadcasts can’t. Users of broadcast news make decisions on the basis of what is available and may not question the validity of the content.
