Blogger Influence Raises Ethical Questions
This article from the AP just goes to show that some people can't leave well enough alone. I personally like the unregulated blog environment as it is now. Of course, people should not take anything at face value when reading a blog, and they should carefully research primary sources. However, check out this quote from the article.
Jonathan Dube, managing producer at MSNBC.com and publisher of CyberJournalist.net, modified the Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics and urged fellow bloggers to adopt it. The principles: Be honest and fair. Minimize harm. Be accountable.
So, some producer at MSNBC wants bloggers to be honest, fair and accountable! How ironic is it that the liberal media is preaching that bloggers should be honest and fair? It is ridiculous and the height of hypocrisy. If you ask me, a bigger story from AP would be- "Liberal Media Influence Raises Ethical Questions."
