		<description>Told my shrink about it. His reaction was pretty much, &quot;that&#039;ll keep you busy.&quot;



Some advertiser don&#039;t like my slant on their product I have the following advice for them. Make it a good product, make it an honest product, deal openly and honestly with your customers. Come clean whenever you are wrong and correct your mistakes. Put everything up front. No fine print in your agreements, none. All fees, all conditions where they can be easily seen and in clear language. Hide nothing. Do that and you should have nothing to fear from what I say.



But if you lie, if you obscure, if you waffle and weasel don&#039;t expect me to be kind. If you aint got the balls to be open do not expect me to show mercy.



And yes, I am a rude son of a bitch.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;The Blogos must not become relunctant to report the truth, lest we fail into the same trap the MSM has fallen&lt;/b&gt;



Roger,



I too believe the Blogos has the potential to be an effective check on our government. After all isn&#039;t it, &lt;b&gt;WE THE PEOPLE&lt;/b&gt; who choose, who will govern WE THE PEOPLE? Without a vibrant and free press, WE THE PEOPLE can&#039;t hold those in positions of authority accountable.



Our current MSM has failed in its journalistic responsibility given by the American people in the 1st Amendment. The right of the free press was not granted to further any secular business interests but to act as a watchdog and report objectively on the actions of our government, so WE THE PEOPLE can hold those accountable at the ballot box.



In fact a good agrument can be made that the MSM has actively aided the enemy in the GWOT:



&lt;b&gt;Where&#039;s the beef?&lt;/b&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;Capt. Ed:



Great post. We&#039;ve been following this story for a long time. I can&#039;t believe the MSM is so lame that they didn&#039;t get wind of this story. It&#039;s not that hard to find in the Blogos. &lt;b&gt;It&#039;s just this doesn&#039;t play well with their constant Bush bashing OP-EDs, &quot;Where&#039;s the beef[WMD]?&quot;&lt;/b&gt; Instapundit echoed this in his critique of the NY Times today.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



[...]



&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rogerlsimon.com/mt-archives/2005/04/dept_of_reifica.php#c46929&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RLS Link - comment&lt;/a&gt;



and:



&lt;b&gt;The Titans of the Blogos vs. The Mainstream Media (MSM)

It&#039;s all over except for the &#039;fat lady&#039; singing.&lt;/b&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;And yes Instapudit, you might be a little OT on this meme, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;There&#039;s a war going on&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, but this is exactly the point. &lt;b&gt;If it wasn&#039;t for the Internet and the Blogos only a very distorted view of the GWOT would be available to the American people and the world. The MSM would have us losing this war for their own self-interested purposes.&lt;/b&gt;



[...]



&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rogerlsimon.com/mt-archives/2005/05/the_pajama_part.php#c47418&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RLS Link - comment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;



The Internet and the Blogos now have the means to be that watchdog that the MSM chooses not to or will not do.  In this new position of responsibility, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the Blogos must not become relunctant to report the truth, lest we fail into the same trap the MSM has fallen:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;



&lt;b&gt;This is a war of ideology, religion, and culture&lt;/b&gt;



&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.windsofchange.net/archives/006628.php#c3&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Winds of Change - comment&lt;/a&gt;



&lt;b&gt;The Greatest Weapon in Our Arsenal in the GWOT - &lt;i&gt;THE TRUTH&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;



&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hspig.org/wordpress/2005/04/06/the-greatest-weapon-in-our-arsenal-in-the-gwot/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;HSPIG Link&lt;/a&gt;



OK - I&#039;m done now.

		<description>I wish you luck, but I do have to admit I&#039;ll miss all the whacked blog ads if larger companies take over advertising.

		<description>I&#039;m having a little trouble visualizing how PJM will work (the Blog News Service part).



Will it be a &quot;mega site&quot; onto which all affiliated blogs will be posting directly (as opposed to links to their respective sites)?



As far as advertising is concerned, I think the &quot;build it and they will come&quot; concept applies.  David T is right....most large companies take a wait and see approach to new practices of any kind, but they follow the pack once there is one.



Best of luck, Roger and friends.

		<description>The problem with getting paid for political blogging is that too many people with nothing fresh to say (possibly me) that really should pack up their blog tent and quit, won&#039;t. They&#039;ll toss the dice one more time. And if something like broadcast television gets to be the business model, I shudder. The talk-radio model is somewhat better, but like TV, only at the top level.

		<description>I can readily understand an advertiser worrying about a blogger criticizing their product line.  Indeed, General Motors would be wise to think twice before placing an ad on Mickey Kausí blog.  Still, other companies should have little to worry about.  What are the odds that Kaus might savage one of Proctor &amp; Gambleís shampoos or underarm deodorants?  Some sort of compromise can be worked out.  Heck, isnít this what theyíve been doing for years anyway with the established media?

		<description>This question may have already been asked and answered; and if so, please forgive me. But why are you making a clear separation between &#039;affiliated blogs&#039; and &#039;milblogs&#039;? There&#039;s something about the jargon I must be missing.
