We're Not Worthy
According to democrat "journalist" Molly Ivins only "reporters" are allowed to have opinions.
Bloggers are not news-gatherers, but opinion-mongers. I have long argued that no one should be allowed to write opinion without spending years as a reporter -- nothing like interviewing all four eyewitnesses to an automobile accident and then trying to write an accurate account of what happened. Or, as author-journalist Curtis Wilkie puts it, "Unless you can cover a five-car pile-up on Route 128, you shouldn't be allowed to cover a presidential campaign."
According to Ms Ivins one has to be able to cover an accident before having an opinion. Let's put aside the absurdity of this for a moment. Tell me, how freakin difficult would it be to ask 4 people what happened and then write it down? This shows the intellectual vacancy of those on the left.

Bloggers are the only ones who will tell it like it really is.
The Democrat Media will distort
everything possible trying to gain favor for their party. They have been so insignificant for so long that they will resort to anything.
