Mainstream blogs too, what's the point of this debate?

• varjag 16y ago
  By "mainstream" I mean normal, non-crackpot outlets who are/were main distribution channels for information to people. In old business, major national newspapers, weeklies, monthly magazines, regional/city papers were fairly good at attribution. Of course plagiarism, stealing and other forms of non-ethical behavior were not unheard of, but not anywhere on par with new media. Nowadays mainstream sources of information are supposedly replaced by swarms of bloggers and citizen journalists. This one is perfect example. Such a thing as non-attribution is now par for the course. You don't notice how common is it because you are not paying attention.
