David Weinberger lets the Boston Globe (and by extension, the entire MSM) have it with both barrels:

Note to Globe: You, Huffington, Walter Cronkite, the NY Times and the Mayor of Reading are all welcome in our blogosphere. But your concern that your high-toned bigness might just drown out our wee voices is misplaced. The blogosphere isn't a town the professionals can buy up; it's an infinite landscape that will have towns of every sort. We little, irresponsible bloggers are going to continue to find one another and delight in one another. And now and then we're also going to drop in on the upscale respectable towns — well, not the gated ones, of course — and, yes, sometimes we'll be carrying cans of spray paint. But we damn well will not be daunted.

Unlike radio and TV, the net isn't a place that can be bought out by a few gatekeepers - the barrier to publishing has been reduced to a simple desire to be heard. As I said in my last post, the only value-add that the MSM is now capable of adding is in actual, honest to goodness reporting. The kind that costs time and money.
