Ana Marie Cox ses “the strength of American journalism is that it is noncredentialed. For years, a J-school degree was a proxy for a credential. But now blogging brings back uncredentialed journalism.

Sir Simon Jenkins says we are “at the virtual collapse of the American newspaper industry.[..]He says that people will be drawn to sites that offer facts.

Jeff Jarvis sez : “I think that’s looking at it the wrong way: Do the people in power care to listen to what the people say?”

Patricia Lee Sharpe :”Bloggers, so far from being a threat, may well be the heartening sign of a revival of substantive discourse and robust public debate that pundits have been calling for. They’ve simply been looking in all the wrong places.

Judge Sentelle :Does the privilege also protect the proprietor of a Web log: the stereotypical “blogger” sitting [in] his pajamas at his personal computer posting on the World Wide Web his best product to inform whoever happens to browse his way?

Mark Cuban sez ; “Its payback time . The bloggers are here, and they are ready to knock down the gates and get their pound of flesh. The traditional media has no idea what is about to hit them.”

Scobles Rebuttal- “very blogger has a knob to turn when he/she writes. One direction is “more interesting” and the other direction is “safer.” You gotta decide where to turn that knob.”

Rebecca MinKinnon -”"We want to share these things with the rest of the “blogosphere” and believe our own thinking will be enhanced by holding a conversation with people reading and watching from around the world. That’s what blogging is all about.”

OPP is the abbreviation for the Ontario Provincial Police! Jeremy knows who they are.

QUOTE: “I know the truth about your encounter at the Toronto airport! So does the gentleman that was in the inspection area with you, remember him? Did you know he was a O.P.P. officer? OPP WHAT THAT? and he heard the entire conversation. He has come forward TO WHOM?to give his version of the actions of the officers you lied about. WELL MAYBE JEREMY DIDNT LIE PER SE. MAYBE IT IS WHAT WE CALL SELECTIVE MEMORY. AND HE MEANT WELL.

The facts are as follows; You entered the inspection hall at 5:18 AM in the morning, you were asked if you planned to work WORK? in the US, and what was your response. You said you were going to a friend’s place because it was “quiet and you could work on your book”. That was a lie, HOW DO YOU KNOW A LIE? although the inspector did not know what a blogger was, he could tell you were lying. At 6:27am, you were allowed to withdraw your application for entry to the US, and ”escorted” to the exit. IN HANDCUFFS?

This story will be released in the papers tomorrow WHICH PAPER? and the truth will finally come out about Jeremy C Wright. WELL LET’ SEE. THIS MIGHT BE RASHAMON ALL OVER AGAIN…..
