After much debate and arguments, some bloggers are receiving credentials to the national political conventions.
I think there are more than a few mainstream journalists who are dismayed at the conventions recognition of the bloggers. Primarily, because of the publics tendency to confuse websites expressing personal opinions, like blogs, and journalistic websites who try to be objective. Tom McPhail, a journalism professor at the University of Missouri agrees with these sentiments. ”They’re certainly not committed to being objective. They thrive on rumor and innuendo,” McPhail says. Bloggers ”should be put in a different category, like ‘pretend’ journalists.”
