Journalists vs. Bloggers (NYTimes)
While I think that the harrassment of Mr. Jordan is goose-stepping jingoism run amok, it's imporant for these guys to be accountable for their reports.
Mr. Abovitz, who started it all, said he hoped bloggers could develop loftier goals than destroying people's careers. "If you're going to do this open-source journalism, it should have a higher purpose," he said. "At times it did seem like an angry mob, and an angry mob using high technology, that's not good."
A higher purpose? Like "Gannon"'s? Gimme a break.
