IZ JUS A STOOPID BLOGGER

CBS News boldly defines their role in 21st century journalism.



Apparently a C&L reader got a similar response with the same signature tag line: "imagine all your info came from a blog."

Based on the ratings, I imagine all CBS' viewers came from one Nielsen household.

That's not entirely fair, the nightly news is still outdrawing Internet news sites, but I fail to understand how these traditional news organizations can still insult their most loyal and news-hungry consumers and expect to get away with it. Probably because they are unused to such trivialities as accountability and answering to the great unwashed. CBS got out of the news business when they hired Katie Couric; now they want to demean their viewers for noticing.
