In the wake of RatherGate, NYTroGate, and the exit poll brouhaha, there have been a slew of articles and online editorials in the mainstream media opining that bloggers are irresponsible, unprofessional, and not to be trusted.
Coming from a group of ostensible "professionals" who openly stumped for one candidate in this election to the extent of suppressing entire news stories and manufacturing others out of whole cloth, this attitude is stunning in its arrogance...

They are hoping that if they scream their lies loud enough and long enough they will be believed by most people. As an old Rep President said:
"You can fool all of the people some of the time
some of the people all of the time. But you can NOT fool all of the people all of the time."
The "mainstream" media has been fooling us for 60 years. Rathergate is such a clear case of lies being used to smear the President in a "news" broadcast that at least some of the people will not believe anything they say for years.
