Beth has a link to an article by CBS.
They sound a bit threatened by bloggers discussing politics. Best quotations:
"But where journalists' careers may be broken on ethics violations, bloggers are writing in the Wild West of cyberspace."“'People are pretty smart in assuming that if a blog is making a case on one side that it’s partisan,' Jamieson said. 'The problem is when a blog pretends to hold neutrality but is actually partisan.'”
Do as I say and not as I do?
As far as I know, no one has threatened to jail U.S. bloggers for exercising their right to free speech (unlike here) but once you begin placing restrictions on what can be discussed in a blog, aren't the consequences just a matter of degree?
