[quote=flu]welcome to new media…. Old print is pretty much dead…Why pay journalists XXXX ,when you can pay bloggers ten cents on the dollar.[/quote]
FLU: The downside to bloggers is that they don’t have the investigative capability of a New York Times, or LA Times, or Newsweek (periodicals are going through the same bleeding out).
Combined with mostly corporate ownership, we now have a fully compromised press, which is part of the on-going problem in our society, namely little to no pushback on government or large business interests from an involved and engaged press.
