Media doesn't want to make a star out of a "Blogger" because the "Opinion Business" is tough competition without the average citizen weighing in.  Rejection is also the fault of the blogger who adds nothing to the larger debate.  Writing about your life and sharing it on Twitter or a personal blog is only important to the writer.  If a "Blogger" shares an opinion that generated commentary or shatters what was offered by the Main stream, then that person has every right to be a "Star" but getting paid is another animal.  The Media doesn't believe in "Free Speech."  Certain websites like some on AOL and at Fox eat blogger comments and that's censorship.  In the final analysis, keep writing if you have something to add to the public debate.  Nobody cares if your gold fish dies.  The Media is running scared of those with something to say and can say it better than they do.  Equal opportunity in the "Opinion Business" is coming if they like it or not.  I "Tweet" and Blog, therefore I am a journalist.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cecil Jones]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2009 5:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sorry, Your Blog Won't Make You Rich]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/11/sorry-your-blog-wont-make-you-rich/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/11/sorry-your-blog-wont-make-you-rich/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sorry, it's me again.  This time I just wanted to add that a Blogger doesn't intend to get rich from any one thing they write.  It's the collection of work over time that is priceless.  Eventually, if the person dies or does something spectacular the public will demand to know what they thought about everything.  How many people in life can claim and prove to be "The Democratic Karl Rove?"  How many people can truly say they played a role in the "Politics of Personal Destruction?"  I'm laughing all the way to my grave or to the bank whichever comes first.  God willing, I'll sign that check or pass it directly to the wife and kid.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cecil Jones]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 12th 2009 6:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sorry, Your Blog Won't Make You Rich]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/11/sorry-your-blog-wont-make-you-rich/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/11/sorry-your-blog-wont-make-you-rich/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cecil - You'd better go back to school and get a better grasp on the English language before declaring yourself a "journalist".  I think the educated "mainstream" can see that you have no idea when to apply proper capitalization, commas, or quotes.  You seem to be better suited to writing about your goldfish dying, rather than trying to stir up intelligent public debate.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[maryjocobb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 12th 2009 8:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sorry, Your Blog Won't Make You Rich]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/11/sorry-your-blog-wont-make-you-rich/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/11/sorry-your-blog-wont-make-you-rich/</guid><description><![CDATA[That is a not very nice thing to write to someone you don't know, and has not done anything to you. <br><br>Secondly, an infactuation with punctuation and the desire to focus on a person's grammer is a cheap and easy way to criticize a person without addressing the actual content. If you can not understand what the person is saying, ask them to clarify. I always attempt to address the content to address the central argument being presented. This leads to a real discussion.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shaun Snapp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2009 1:30AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
