Wednesday, December 05, 2007J’s Notes: A Return to Ethical Blogging?Every once in awhile, the MSM has to check someone against the glass, and Kenney the Younger (or Lesser if you prefer) is watching the Washington Post pound the crap out of Ben Tribbett. I'm glad the ethics conversation is coming back to the forefront. When bloggers get back to being the watchdogs of the MSM rather than the lapdogs, that's when we're truest to our form. It's a rather tragic observation that since the macaca incident, many Virginia bloggers pay more attention to what the traditional press is saying, rather than adding in ways the MSM never could. Here's the sad part: (F)olks need to hold up a bit before tossing ethical hand grenades (especially Ben Tribbett). If you feel that a citation was missed or a blog has provided an insight that someone has missed, there are usually comment sections where you can add your own words. Of you have your own blog where you can write and link around and do whatever corrections to the record you feel you need to do.The MSM challenging bloggers on ethics? That's not the way it's supposed to work, guys! We're supposed to be the watchdogs of the media, and keep them on their toes. Instead, many Virginia bloggers have found it easier to be the lapdog and thank the press for the scraps tossed their way. UPDATE: This is turning into a bit of a scandal... Leslie Carbone adds her thoughts. I'll have more later, as I'm starting to get some feedback from folks. Wow.
