If you want to know about blogs, don't ask a newspaper

Dave Barry explains why not. Most newspaper articles on blogs are hatchet jobs like the one Barry links to, but journalists who care about the quality of their work should welcome the criticism they get from blogs. They constantly tell us that we need freedom of the press to keep the government honest. By that argument, wouldn't the same thing be true of bloggers keeping a skeptical eye on the press itself? I think so, and the fury of journalists being challenged suggests that this is long overdue.
