Blog/Bloggers - Necessary?
#2
I guess where I disagree with you Menehune, is that our current standards even in the traditional media (that would include the New York Times) have dropped dramatically. I could argue that much of the TRADITIONAL media have lost their ethical compass. And the cable news networks are just as bad; they're always looking for the big scoop, too often at the expense of accuracy, fact-checking, etc. Today's reporters of the news (not all of them of course) seem less concerned about achieving objectivity, and more focused on making money and/or grinding a political axe, whether it be left or right. Sounds like lots of bloggers I read.

You could argue that punaweb falls into the same category as blogs: no one oversees content as to accuracy, lack of bias, etc.

I've also been perusing a lot of the blogs on the Big Island lately. Some are good for entertainment, some for news, and others for perspective. But even the "journalists" among them are doing a lot of commentary and editorial-style posts. And it's okay as long as we know what it is.

The lesson? We have to be critical readers--learn to separate the pepper from the fly sh*t--whether we're talking about online information or traditional news media.

Aloha,
