I have a bone to pick with Morley Safer. Morley is a CBS News veterans who is one of the the "60 Minutes" correspondents. I read in the newspaper that he was honored recently "with an award named for one of his old bosses, Fred Friendly. He accepted it with a warning that the business problems of newspapers threaten all of journalism, and the public's precarious right to know." He goes on to say, "good journalism needs structure and responsibility. He considers the blogosphere no alternative, saying it is crammed with the ravings and manipulations of every nut with a keyboard."
Since when are the writers of newspapers and television newscasts not in the same category as bloggers? They are raving and manipulating nuts just like us, the only difference is they have a bigger audience!
