Mainstream media and bloggers
04/26/05
Matthew Haughey says he won't read our blogs if we use the term 'mainstream media' (a.k.a. MSM). A news flash for Matt: We don't care. We don't care if you read our web logs. The difference, Matt, is that we are independent actors, not part of a small set of multi-billion dollar corporations. The difference is that we are not under the constraints of making a 15% profit. The difference is that we are a distributed information system, whereas MSM is like a set of stand-alone mainframes. The difference is that we can say what we damn well please...
