It sounds to me that those in print are worried about their jobs. How come he writs this article online and not in print.<BR/><BR/>One thing that upsets me is the fact that he is lumping anyone with a degree in journalism as liars and wannabe's well thats just wrong. I am a police officer and currently the Chief of Police in my small town and I will say this. I will take a person with street smarts over a 4 year degree person any day.<BR/><BR/>It is just sad when the world bows to people like this and those taken in by his words are shallow and are without insight. Check out what Bruce MacLeod of The Macomb Daily had to say. http://redwingscorner.blogspot.com/2007/11/blogs-are-fine-by-me.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35140115.post-36906826975828161142007-11-17T17:29:00.000-08:002007-11-17T17:29:00.000-08:00Nice job on this article.

Perhaps he - or at least some other journalists - will think twice before lumping all bloggers together in the future.

Unfortunately, there are those out there who work to diminish our skills and still get the attention, but we all know the bloggers out there that can write, that have credibility, and that are just good.<BR/><BR/>Nice going.PBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650806375496133659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35140115.post-38743895728069489072007-11-16T18:16:00.000-08:002007-11-16T18:16:00.000-08:00Let me be the first to note that I am incredibly j...Let me be the first to note that I am <I>incredibly</I> jealous that you got to converse with Brian Burke!!! He's such an insane figure... and a former Canucks GM... and the best in the biz... and ARGH I wanna be you!!!<BR/><BR/>As for Jordi's point, I think that the key is within the filtration process.

However it seems that they are still one mass group of "fans" who are represented mainly at a match when someone gets mad and throws shit. <BR/><BR/>And I don't want to step on people's toes but getting trained professionals are a far cry from what you get from some of their kind.Jordihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150308503869826414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35140115.post-20670235363256001642007-11-16T13:42:00.000-08:002007-11-16T13:42:00.000-08:00Have you heard from McCosky yet?Have you heard from McCosky yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35140115.post-57012631732419204992007-11-16T13:37:00.000-08:002007-11-16T13:37:00.000-08:00McCosky seems worried/bothered about something Hmm...McCosky seems worried/bothered about something Hmmmmmmmmmm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35140115.post-32973995739095711682007-11-16T12:59:00.000-08:002007-11-16T12:59:00.000-08:00Good job, Finny.

I get the master bedroom! <BR/><BR/>And I would be interested in working in something hockey related in the future but I don't really think of my blog as the platform to do so. At least not yet anyways. I see the opportunities that are out there for those who are serious about it but for now I do have other commitments so it's something I'm doing purely for enjoyment at the time being.Miss.

I would note for Burkie's edification that bloggers have been hit with libel suits and journalists (ie Steve Simmons) have made demonstrably false reports that editors and factcheckers have allowed to pass. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure that it's necessarily a journalist v. blogger issue so much as a responsible v. irresponsible person issue.<BR/><BR/>The other thing about a blogger being wrong is that they'll frequently make a post acknowledging their error which brings much more attention to the issue than any retraction that a journalist will make.<BR/><BR/>Overall, the article hit all the right notes on the current environment.<BR/><BR/>Sherry and I get lumped in the fan's in out underwear in the basement category I guess ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35140115.post-52744842758168806962007-11-16T08:42:00.000-08:002007-11-16T08:42:00.000-08:00Good job.
