First off, I really enjoy the emotion from the author about the selfish demeanor from many bloggers. He is irate about those "journalists" who are only in it for the fame - or short-term gain - to grab attention.
He is so run off that he is embarrassed for his entire profession. Wow.
Throughout the bullet points, the first one had an interesting statement about the difference between a writer and a journalist. I also liked how he talked about how "attached" we get with our writing and how hard we can take editors. For me, that did make me take a different look on what I write and that I shouldn't be obsessed with every word.
Furthermore, a blogger is "not accustomed to being under the scrutiny of a professional editor." Also how trying to steer away from opinion-based news stories as well as loving the truth.
This guy obviously cares plenty enough to pull his deepest thoughts about journalism and put it right in the arms of the very people he's calling out. To me, that speaks volumes of this person's dedication.
