Bruce MacLeod, a member of the MSM who also happens to have a blog willing admits to being a fan of blogs.
Red Wings Corner: Blogs are fine by me
Personally, I read blogs daily. There’s lots of good stuff there and lots of garbage, kind of like movies or TV shows or newspapers. The vast majority of blogs are done by people who aren’t beat writers or in the media or journalists. I’m not sure why journalists feel the need to inform the world of this. I know it. My friends who aren’t journalists know it. It’s pretty obvious and it’s an unreadable blog if someone is passing themselves off as something they are not. Blogs are a collection house of information and links to primary sources. Nothing wrong with that, in fact that allows me to get more done with my time on the Internet than if I never read blogs. And blogs do offer commentary and that’s a good thing too. I’ve read dozens of newspaper columns this year about the Red Wings from columnists who haven’t been to many — if any — of the games. I’m not sure what the difference is.
He mentions the Joel Zumaya dirt bike rumor later in his post which indicates that this is a direct response to the Chris McCosky poorly constructed rant from a couple weeks ago. (As an aside, McCosky used his forum to slam the MSM in this week’s edition of his rants)
Thanks to Big Al from the Wayne Fontes Experience for emailing this to me.
