The whole bloggers-versus-mainstream-media thing is getting pretty old. And, honestly, holding up one guy as an example of “journalism” is just as stupid as holding up one blogger and condemning all others. Neither genre is monolithic.
A couple further points, then I’ll shut up:
Daily deadlines do prevent writers from getting final say on what goes under (and over) their bylines. Editors of all stripes can help and hinder a piece after the writer is done with it.
Is a journalism professor really a journalist? He’s been an academic since 2002.
Sorry, neither you nor Josh did that. But it seems that mainstream-media haters often paint journalists and journalism with too large a brush (just as students at the J-school I work at are too quickly willing to write off new or alternative media) and I get frustrated with that.

Why does this stuff continue to crack me up?!?
