Totally Pointless

Skippy thinks the fuss about blogger ethics is pointless.

blogging ethics, in our opinion, isn't so much a contradictory phrase, as a totally pointless one. since blogging is not a profession (with a couple of damn-their-hides lucky exceptions), we wonder why ethics need to be discussed, let alone introduced into blogtopia (ethics demand that we disclose that yes! we coined that phrase!), however, for lack of real news in this world, the dead trees media are all a'buzz about this self-same topic.

The Wall Street Journal points out that anyone can become a blogger. So!!!!!!!!!!

and that's true. but i would ask, what exam did brian williams take to become anchor of the nbc evening news? as we understand, the guy was never an on-the-ground reporter, which was how chronkite and huntley and brinkley and even wolf "how's my beard" blitzer got their start.

It's an excellent post and if you are interested in this contoversy go read the entire thing.
