BBC "moan" about blogs

What's said in this BBC article is not as important as what is not said.

The BBC are quick to point out how you can get into trouble by blogging about your work and cite an airline stewardess who lost her job because of her blog.

They give other examples of people blogging about the daily grind of their job and some of the legal implications.

But what is not said and is most important, is how bloggers are the biggest threat to main stream media, like the BBC. In fact, this blog and blogs likeBiased BBC are dedicated to exposing the BBC's bias. I know for a fact that some BBC employees visit and leave comments on Biased BBC. True to form, the BBC want you to believe what they say about blogs is all there is to it, a passing fad. And like main stream media in the US, the BBC is in denial. What possible harm can a bunch of ordinary people sitting around in their pajamas writing trivial nonsense no one will read, do? Just ask Dan Rather and CBS.

I live in Scotland and it amazes me how many people have not heard of blogs or Rathergate or the Swift Boat Veterans. Not that they should know about those things in and of themselves but because of the impact bloggers had on them. Amazed until I remembered why I started this blog, expose the BBC bias and lack of reporting on things it doesn't like.

I imagine the only reason the BBC reported on blogs at all is because Time magazine has, for the first time, announced a "blog of the year", Powerline. You will find Powerline on my blog roll and they have been since I started my blog almost a year ago. Read some of the links on my blog roll and you will see just why the BBC would rather you think of blogs as a passing fad. Hopefully it won't be long until main stream media here in the UK feel the heat like they do in the US.
