What is to become of journalism? What bothers me most about this article....

[pepperbear]

...is that it's just like reporting that "Britney Ellis Asterburg posts legitimate Facebook questions for Courtney Baines Lanksford as to why she is dating Link Allen Pennington"....and then going on to report on the comments and "like-clicks" of her 2 BFF's Lauren and Megan. I will post the link, and believe you me, you'll be wondering even more about what has become of journalism when you read this. Seriously: note the tone.

The hateful posts on some "Hockey Mom's" facebook account is breaking news? Really?

1. You are actually referring to Facebook as Journalism? Journalism is

Who, What, Where, Why, When and How in story form. Facebook is a series of scribbled notes.

2. pepperbear is referring to Politics Daily as journalism

although that may be overly generous.

5. Seriously, most of the time I think the very best thing we can do

for ourselves and futures gens is to support the indy media. They're really struggling right now, too, because the grants have dried up after Madoff et al.

4. After having read 'Politics Daily', I tend to agree with you.
