Umm, MSM quit linking the bloggers awhile back even when they took their stuff without attribution. So know, MSM is yelling at each other about not getting attribution?

But it’s a good conversation.

The thing is, In Session now knows what bloggers have been going through. Although I don’t think there is a term called blogger laundering. But what they said, and what bloggers go through … well it’s similar.

Don’t get me wrong, there are a few who do, but the days of the past world of blogging are over. I guess the Nashville folks are eating their own now. Let’s see, Pith just started doing morning round-ups. The Nashvillest have been doing that for a while. I think Pith was right to do this, but Christy and Morgan are the ones that started this latest trend. Well, and Brittney in the early days when dinosaurs smoked cigarettes.

It’s all good. We can all do this together. But eating our insides from within, well, that’s just nuts. And Say Uncle is telling you this.

Christian explains it:

RESOLUTION: Unless your news organization’s blogger has added anything significant to a news report that is not yours, including opinion, it’s always best your legacy media (or online version of legacy media) link directly to the original source, not to a blog that simply curated the source without adding anything of value.

This isn’t just mainstream, it’s everyone. Linkage is groovy and that’s how bloggers remain, no matter where they stand, as an important voice.

Link, people, link. Because if we link each other, then MSM pays attention.  It scares them.

Maybe I’m wrong, but this just seems like people losing at hopscotch and pouting at the swings when they don’t get their way. None of us like it, but it is what it is.
