Now we see highly educated and experienced individuals not connected with an organization blogging. So the MSM added the charge that blogs are dodgy because they lack editors. True that but editors are paid by whom? Might not the source of funds from MSM (i.e., corporate America) influence the filter editors put on the news? That's obvious. Hadn't realized the ubiquitous nature of blogging even among the MSM so it will probably all be moot in coming years. Well said Ana and miss your wit at Wonkette.
