Do We Hail Blogging Only When It Suits Us?

In his recent post about the Dunkin Donuts ad, Naseem states:

“seriously, when malkin and her army of gonads start having enough power to sway corporations, that’s when you know we’re in big trouble.”

Now, this phrase raises a number of interesting questions. isn’t this the whole point of alternative media, especially blogging? is the power of blogging always a good thing?

We have always talked about blogging as an integral part of the new media and how blogging has become a new form of citizen journalism, and as bloggers we have always wanted to have that kind of influence not only over the general public but over traditional media as well, and then that actually happens. do we have the right as bloggers to condemn it?

I respect Nas and his views, but isn’t there a bit of hypocrisy in that statement? what gives us the right to loath another blogger just for having the kind of power that he/she has, regardless of their political agenda. do we (as bloggers) hail blogging only when it works for us?

Just some thoughts to ponder about.
