Don't understand why you think 'Blogs' are indi news media

I followed about a half dozen of his wpresented-with-gusto links. I didn't see anything in any of them that either (a) demonstrated that the turkey being fake was incorrect and (b) that actually said in any way shape or form what he said that the links said. Hal the links were references back to his own diatribes. The link to the NYT correction was a correction about the spelling of a name of a an actress. Maybe beneath all of his rambling nonsense there would be some fact, but all I could see is that the guy knows how to google up stuff and put in HTML links, and that he thinks by linking to things unrelated, that he has proved his case. Like I said, maybe there is a pearl in the swine pin, but I don't have the free time to go looking any more.

Blogs are tantamount to people sitting around spewing their uneducated opinions without any challenge or review or correction or debate. Its basically what happens here, except there is at least some attempt to correct you nut jobs- which you largely ignore.
