> What does it say about the world we live in where blogs do more basic journalism than CNN?

To me it says that people who thought the Internet would kill journalism were wrong.

But that doesn't follow at all. Others have pointed out (in this thread) it's possible that old-media outlets have become sloppy _because_ the sloppy new-media outlets are out-producing them and gaining a major share of attention. I don't think this data point supports either conclusion more than the other.

Why? erikpukinskis didn't say the Internet helped journalism, merely that it didn't kill journalism.
