What I’m Reading: More Evidence That “Old Media” Has a Monopoly on Ethics
If you haven’t yet, SoDak readers, take a look at another battle in the blogosphere v. main stream media wars.
Todd Epp, of South Dakota Watch, published a story about the Tea Party protests on the eastern side of SoDak. Apparently, Lincoln High School students were conscripted as, according to Epp, patriots for the rally. According to Epp, KELOLAND and the Argus Leader soon stole his story.

Yep. It’s the bloggers who are the thieving scumbags of the news world. Those journalists and reporters with degrees in journalism are the people with a monopoly on integrity. I mean… It was just last week, when I was dazzled by the scintillating analysis of the Rapid City Journal.
And while I am a disappointed to see that Epp feels his work was stolen, I am even more disappointed to see that he calls the rallies – where citizens are exercising their rights – anti-American. I couldn’t stand Cindy Sheehan and all her antics, but I would be loathe to call her protests anti-American.

Ol’ Allen Unruh called for revolution. I think that’s pretty un-American. We have elections. I wasn’t wild about Bush. Didn’t want McCain. Voted for Obama. That’s how it works. Wet. Shampoo. Rinse. Repeat.
Thanks for the digital ink.

Todd, Get off of your high horse –before you fall. That was the most respectful and amazing crowd of 4000 that i have ever seen. Try getting a crowd of your liberal friends together and see what a trash heap they will leave behind! They will also shout down and riducule any opposition (you know–just like you do) and do lots of name calling (oh yeah–just like you).
Almost 4000 and there wasn’t ONE peice of trash for the clean up crew to pick up–not like Washington DC where your friends partied in January–(or Denver–a totally disrespectful of the environment crowd couldn’t be found anywhere else on earth.)
With ACORN (the lying, cheating group) doing the 2010 census, our right to vote may quickly disappear–Revolution is brewing!
A call for revolution in the context of a rally to protest the government’s taking money from the citizenry and simply wasting it? That sounds remarkably American (in the old-fashioned sense) to this benighted reader of history.
I’m with Michael here… I’d need a little clarification on how protesting – or at least this particular protest in question – is un-American.
