MSNBC Maybe

in Bloggers, Interviews

meMy segment on MSNBC today is tentative. The Michael Jackson/Jesse Jackson radio interview has turned into old news. I may appear to discuss something else or not at all. I’ll keep you posted.

Update: Looks like I’ll do a blogosphere round-up (including posts about Michael Jackson) today at 5:00 p.m. EST. It will probably be closer to 5:20, but once again, I’ll keep you posted. Leave your tips in the comment section.

On Monday I wrote about blog envy, one of my favorite topics. I don’t think bloggers and journalists have to be enemies, however. I believe there’s enough common ground between us to benefit both. There’s nothing to be afraid of, MSM. ;)

Glenn Reynolds makes a similar observation here. Jeff Jarvis says, “Journalism is a verb, not a noun.”

I say, “Get that man some trackbacks!”

Update: Hey now. I should do one of these. LBC’s top 20 favorite blogs?

Update II (3:49 p.m.): See you kids later when I return with the MSNBC after-report.

Update III (6:07 p.m.): The Political Teen (Media Player) and Trey Jackson (Media Player and Quicktime) both have video of today’s blog round-up. Featured today were about twenty too many “Ahs” (Got to work on that) and my new laptop. :)

I briefly mentioned the GOP Talking Points Memo scandal, border issues and FrankJ’s proposal to SarahK.

LBC was featured today on CNN’s new blog report segment (Trey Jackson’s video). They quoted from the post below this one, Blogger Gets Burned:

[E]ditors are invaluable. Journalists have that advantage over bloggers. If a reporter gets wind of hot story, he has to confirm sources before the story goes to press. Sometimes the editors goof as well, but at that point the blame also falls on the editor, too. Misery (in being duped by anonymous sources) loves company…[I]f bloggers want to be journalists, we should strive to be better than journalists. Joshua retracted, but the so-called journalists have not.

Catch Michelle Malkin on O’Reilly tonight discussing the ACLU’s opposition to the Minuteman Project volunteers. Trey “Action” Jackson has the video.

Update IV (3/31): I don’t know what to think. Good?
