My own blog, "The 'Skeeter Bites Report" (http://www.skeeterbitesreport.com) has been posted to manstream news media Web sites on a number of occasions in recent weeks, most notably, Reuters, the Chicago Sun-Times and -- on at least one occasion -- the New York Post (The latter being a surprise, as the Post is not part of the BlogBurst network and as I'm unabashedly left of center and the Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, is unabashedly right-wing).

Incorporating bloggers as commentators inside a story brings down the myth that professional writing requires a journalism degree, a union card, and membership into the "secret" society 3.
