Do blogger's really need a Code of Ethics?

Apparently, some people think so.

How about, "If you get caught taking money to plug something other than what you believe, you're toast." The blogosphere is self-enforcing. Remember Kos' comment about the military contractors who were killed in Baghdad and their bodies hung on a bridge?

When blogs become profit centers, I suppose some will have to take the pledge, but if you're unethical enough to do the things mentioned in the code, you're not likely to mind lying on the pledge.

The last line is hilarious, "Just don�t call yourself a journalist when you�re cashing that check." Yeah, right. The whole journalism establishment is a shill for the Democrats. They feed off each other.
