BECAUSE IT'S NOTHING BUT A BLOG!!!!

[HaRdLy]

And that matters why?

[Hyack]

Blogs are not news, if you want to post the story, do so in Blogging Canadians or in the forums, but do not try to pass it off as a news item.

How about some reason other then because it a link to a blog? WTF is with you?

Hyack already told you it's because it's not news. Blogs are opinion pieces, not news items. When I come here I come to catch up on reliable news and I don't want to read other peoples opinionated blogs that get passed off as news.

Why make an issue of it, why not just post it with other blogs?

Hows about we kick the greenies for being such a bunch of wankers ..

Depends who writes the Blog, but most are subjective prattle spit out by people who simply found a method to share their opinions. It certainly doesn't match up with real journalism.

Somewhat true but some journalist are only one version of an event or story. What makes them so much better then some blogger after all some the blogger, I read are very good and far more knowledgeable then the journalists .

[Hyack]

My concern is that when a journalist submits a story it has to go past an editor, whereas a blogger has no control over him and can post anything he cares to, whether it is true, or just his outlook on events.
