I agree .. treating online media in exactly the same way as its traditional counterpart is really short-sighted. For instance - I buy a newspaper when I need to get from A to B and need something to read. I'll choose one paper over all others, simply because I'm _forced_ to make a choice. When I'm at a computer, I want to be able to compare coverage between publications .. I won't go to one source and take one reporters account as gospel. I'll consider what the traditional media has to say, and also what bloggers and commenters have to say as well. I no longer need to invest in one publication only. Everything can - and is - linked. Placing an artificial break in that chain seems ridiculous.
