The National Press Club has decided to hold a panel on "Who is a Journalist?" The issue is how to deal with bloggers. The have invited Wonkette (Ana Marie Cox) and Jeff Gannon to represent bloggers.
Anna Marie Cox is a gossip columnist who is famous more for her sexy language and cuteness than for her journalistic abilities (for pay), and James Guckert who is a Male Homosexual Prostitute (we can hope ex-) who was exposed and required to quit going to the White House Press Briefings under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon where he lobbed Scott McClelland softball right-wing questions when McClelland was having trouble with handling the questions of real journalists. Neither is a real political blogger.
If they want to know how to deal with bloggers as journalists, perhaps they should try to get some journalistic-type bloggers on the panel. Does that seem unreasonable? E-mail me. I'll give them some names.
