I usually stay out of the journalistic mainstream in favor of things that interest me. But given all the noise about blogs vs Mainstream media lately, this is utterly irresistible.
This morning, Libby, wandering around the web in search of news, came upon this story in the Australian. It begins:
“WASHINGTON: George W. Bush sent his apologies – he was too busy cutting wood and riding his bike – and almost 500 of the 535 members of Congress also had more pressing engagements, as the state funeral for Gerald Ford, the 38th president of the US, was held in Washington yesterday.”
But guess what? His funeral isn’t until Tuesday, and hundreds have already paid their respect!
Sure, Mr Rago (who said that blogs are “Written By Fools To Be Read By Imbeciles”). The Mainstream Media are ALWAYS more accurate than blogs.
Geez, it sounds like you are turning into one of those angry bloggers.
