Asian Cutie and Blog Goddess: Michelle Malkin Defends Bloggers on Fox News!
Asian Cutie and Blog Goddess: Michelle Malkin defends Bloggers on Fox News!
Michelle Malkin was on Fox News The Big Show with John Gibson today. She was there to represent the Blogsphere. Michelle spoke up and defended bloggers as a 24 hour, seven days a week, source for information. When she was challenged with the idea that blogs spread lies and rumors, she responded by saying that if you want to be successful in the Blogsphere, you must have credibility. Blogs are fact checked non-stop by the people that read them. If you post something that is false, you will lose credibility and visitors to your blog. Yes, some false stories are spread in the Blogsphere, but when this happens, the blog that spread the false story is ran out of town–sort of like what is happening to Dan Blather at cBS.
The tide is turning; old media has no choice but to recognize internet blogs as an up and coming source for news and views. More and more people each day are turning away from the major networks and those people are turning to the internet and Fox News to provide them with up to the minute news and opinion. The people need an alternative to the herd mentality news media and weblogs are filling that need. It’s a beautiful day in the bloggerhood!
Where do you get your news? What websites do you enjoy reading? Is the Internet the next Big Media?

That’s what I like about the blogosphere. Having Michelle Malkin on our side helps.
Although, I don’t have to be accurate since I just stick to opinions, for the most part anyway. But even at that, I still have to be truthful. If my opinion is based only on imagination, than what good is it? I still have to back up my opinions with some kind of facts.
I post my opinions, link to my sources, and let the reader decide. That’s about it.

When the ‘old media’ broadcasts a false story or an incorrect fact, you my never hear the retraction. In the blogsphere, if you make a mistake someone is going to point it out and you will apologize and/or retract your statement quickly, facts are presented and you have the opportunity to check the facts for yourself. On the broadcasts they report the ‘facts’ as they see fit and if they made a mistake you won’t know, you just have to take their word, and lately their word looses credibility a little more each day.
