Brian Williams on Bloggers:"I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment."
via Sully:"You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment in the Bronx who hasn't left the efficiency apartment in two years" -- Brian Williams, anchor of the "NBC Nightly News," speaking before New York University journalism students on the challenges traditional journalism faces from online media.
My name is not Vinny. My name is John Doe...Opps..sorry....So what's wrong with effciencey apartments? What a wanker...
[...] The fatuous and vapid attitudes of MSM stars with regards to bloggers (one of numerous examples here); Bush’s infamous signing statements for hundreds of laws; And so many other examples, [...]
...covered gratuitous use of stereotypes and glittering generalities?
If the MSM would ask hard questions, citizen journalists -- many with their own pretty decent credentials -- wouldn't have to.
If there is such a demand for Vinny's opinion and other news sources, Brian, there must be a reason. The reason is that people like you just haven't been doing what you claim to do. Do we really have to review your performance on Iraq, Afghanistan, the entire Middle East, the economy, Latin America,...?
I'm rich! Respect mah authoriTAH!
