The problem with that objection is that the blogger's source is usually the journalist. Another poor objection is that journalists report the news objectively while a blogger imposes a subjective spin or commentary. The reality is that all news is spun by virtue of the choice of words, images and such included in the report. Even the headline conveys a slant. The bottom line is that everyone can have a voice to gather, report, or comment on events and journalists no longer own the monopoly on information dissemination.
