USA Today: Blogs, Journalism Are Different Factions of the Write Wing

One thing about bloggers: you know where they stand. You can't say the same about traditional journos.

"How can we trust you to blog if we don't know who you support" in the presidential election, David Weinberger publisher of Joho the Blog asked veteran Associated Press writer Walter Mears, who won a Pulitzer prize for his political reporting in 1976.

"Because I'm objective," replied Mears, 69, "� that's the way you make your living" in journalism."

"Objectivity is a worthwhile objective, but it needs to be recognized that it can't be reached," Weinberger said.
