After reading this interview, I do agree with a lot of her ideas. I agree that the media is suffering from “attention deficit disorder”, since most of their news broadcasts are about one thing, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people believe that media covers everything they need to know. I also agree that it’s much easier to create a blog and post on a blog than it is to actually sit down and write an entire thought out, sending it to an editor, and hopefully getting it posted in a newspaper or on the news. The things I don’t agree with are things like how just because someone messes up on a blog, doesn’t mean that someone is going to fix it. She says, regarding the chances of being corrected on a false blog, “the chances of it being corrected are very great.” I don’t think that just because one can put false information on a blog means it’s better than the news just because it was corrected by someone else. People on the news can’t afford to get things wrong because it’s illegal first of all, and the people who give the false information can get fired.
