blogging the news

Yikes.. I mentioned Sacbees Weintraub blogs (California insider..link down below) there's a controversy it seems and I am dazed and confused and just reading it now via Romenesko and the link. The problem is this ...
The blogosphere gets fired up when Daniel Weintraub's California Insider gets pre-edited after a controversial posting. Read the whole article from OJR

I know CNN does not adhere to news blogging..remember, they wanted to put a stop to that news blog from Kevin sites during the war in Iraq.
