WHY DOES HE THINK WE WEAR UNDERWEAR?

March 28, 2005

Ken Fuson of The Des Moines Register gets to the essentials of the debate on whether bloggers are journalists:

They also are raising serious concerns about whether a person who could be sitting at home in his underwear, writing on his blog while watching "The Price is Right," should be able to call himself a journalist.

And the answer is no. True journalists would be watching "Jeopardy!," dreaming they will win as much as that little geek (term of endearment) Ken Jennings, which would allow them to quit their dead-end jobs and launch their own blogs.

Of course, some would say "true journalist" is an oxymoron...

UPDATE: Ouch. Mr. Fuson gets spanked.
