The New York Times Code of Ethics is Mandatory for Journalists Not Bloggers

Jason Calacanis is a Main Stream Media-lover.


He wants to be legit.

Well, I think he’s silly.

Why does Jason Calacanis fancy that bloggers should even know –or care — about the the New York Times code of ethics?

Well, in “Microsoft Vista Ferrari Payoffs–horrible move. (bonus: PayPerPost comes clean–who cares),” Jason Calacanis suggests the Code is a bible of sorts. What a sell-out. Is Jason Calacanis a main stream media sympathizer? Ha ha!

Is Jason Calacanis an MSM mole? A double agent? Methinks. Read my ranty reply in his comments below…

“Bloggers. Are. Not. Journalists. And. If. They. Wanted. To. Be. Journalists. They. Would. Be. Doing. Journalism. They would be journalists. How dare you refer to the New York Times code of ethics. They are not responsible to anyone except the relationship they have with themselves and their readership. If you map journalistic requirements on bloggers, then they had better receive all the protections journalists get under the Supreme Court.”
