Nodak, I’m not sure you get this.
If I walk down the street and I see a crime being committed, and I state exactly what I saw in a blog, do you have a problem with that?
If I accurately record an exchange at a public meeting between a politician and a citizen, uttered in a public forum, and quote that accurately in a blog, in what way is that different?
Arguably, if I pose as a private individual at a public venue and ask a politician a ‘loaded’ question, why should I NOT record and quote the response I get back in a blog?
And, while we’re at it, what gives Helen Thomas the right to behave the way SHE does at White House press briefings? 200 years as a ‘professional journalist’?
