count me out

Watching this National Press Club/"Jeff Gannon" event on C-SPAN2, I am struck that "journalists" are jealous that their label may be applied to people who post for other people to read on the internet, the "bloggers." After seeing the idiots participating in this event, I'd like to clearly state my position and at least allay any concerns they may have about me.

I am a BLOGGER.

I am not a JOURNALIST.

I do not wish to become known as a JOURNALIST. With the embarrassing travesty our press has become these days, it's hard to think of anything that would be a greater insult.

Keep your term for yourselves. I don't want any part of it.
