Don't Believe Me

I certainly hope not. Blogs are not meant to be news-sources. Blogs are in their nature biased; and meant to bring the author's view of things.

There seem to be a misunderstanding among some people, additionally, that blogs will take over the world; erasing the newspapers and even the news agencies.

This is simply not realistic. Journalists have their writing as a full-time job; and get paid to make their stories as objective as possible (except in Russia and Fox News, that is) - most bloggers do not have these benefits.

Jason Kottke is one of the few bloggers in the world that does the blog-thing as a full-time. I wouldn't trust him to be anything but subjective, though...

Now, this isn't to say that you should trust the media to be objective either, and you should always try to look the news up from several sources... These sources may include blogs; of course, but blogs should never be the sole, or even main, source of news...
