Too often people try to place blogging and the news into the same category and for the most, they are completely different. There are only a couple of blog sites like Crunch, OM and Paid Content that I trust as giving me solid synopsis of the news in a current awareness manner. The smart bloggers disclaim the rumors they push and it still makes for interesting conversation/reading. I think long term, the world has to find a symbiotic way where the news industry survives because without news the conversations sure are going to lose some interest value. I'm not sure how many recognize the difference between news reporting and blogging, and the value each brings to the other. Jeremiah, completely agree.

Shows we are all human and have gut feelings, emotions and own thoughts. Sometimes it is OK to be wrong. Lets not sanitize things too much.

I subscribe to your feeds because I value your integrity. I agree, too many A listers go on wild rants to generate controversy and improve their rank on technorati. Keep doing what you have been doing Jeremiah and leave the other trash for the scumbags. I am glad to here that you are not aspiring to be an A-list blogger.
