What’s the difference between a blogger and a journalist? Is the comparison square and rectangle, water and ice, or night and day? Let’s start with responsibility. Journalism has a responsibility to present info in a non-biased manner. Blogging (talking about professional bloggers, people who do it for a living) has no responsibility at all. How many times have you read a rumor on a blog that turned out to be false? Bloggers simply offer their opinion as if it is the law,  like their view of the world is more important than everyone else’s. What would you call each if you knew them personally? You’d probrably call a journalist a brave, maybe nosey/curious, smart guy. You would probrably call a blogger arrogant, a snitch,  groupie, comedian or extreme hater. In journalism your popularity increases with thought provoking material, and popular interviews such as Hussein before the invasion, or Nixon after the scandal. With blogging your popularity increases with the size and number of rumors you present. Blogging has become so big that people are beginning to confuse the two with each other, but there are so many differences it’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t even be comfortable around a blogger, knowing anything I say or do could be national news at any moment. A lot of the “so called journalist” are really bloggers. Not all bloggers fit under this prototype, but 90% or better do. If the blogs were from people of influence they might matter, but the famous bloggers normally don’t have anything going on in their personal lives, who cares what you think? What if the microscope was on your life? Blogging while it can be a useful tool has turned into a recorder for emotional tirades and slander. So to all the bloggers of the world, had to take this line from TIP, something to marinate on “Get a benz I’ll value your opinion then”.
