I hear a lot of people complain about blogging these days. Especially about so-called professional bloggers, who make their living by blogging, either by being hired to blog or through ad-income.
The argument usually goes that it's not a proper job, just people staying at home writing about random crap. I don't really care so much about that - it's just stupid, jealous people with nothing better to do than complain. The people who properly bother me are those who say it's worrying that so much information is relayed through blogging.
Let me tell you what's worrying.
1. That these people are bothered that people can write whatever they want.
2. That they complain about blogging, when blogs are specifically subjective by default, whereas today's news media all over the world convey subjective thoughts, just in a more sublime way (though not always: think FOX News or Swedish Aftonbladet). In most cases modern journalism appears to be blogging in the form of news, and it's often rather horrifying what will pass as truth in the name of media.
The brighter of you might think that this isn't a problem. After all, you know that the media often lies, and to think before you trust. But I beg of you, concern yourselves with the issue that a lot of people doesn't get this. They don't understand that journalists lie, and lie, and lie, in the name of their own agenda, be it political, philosophical or whatever.
Just please, think of the stupid.
Also, this is rather horrible: http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=148&a=687549
The Swedish looks like jibberish but the pictures speak for themselves.
