How bad is the Des Moines Register scraping the bottom with some of their bloggers?:

Hey how’s it goin’? My name is Jacob Motsinger. I am 19 years old and living in North Hollywood, California. I moved out here from Iowa about 3 months ago. I am pursuing an acting career. I work at the Gap and Jerry’s Famous Deli; both on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City. I work alot. I mean….. alot. I work 40 hrs/week at Jerry’s and about 15 hrs/week at the Gap. I haven’t had a day off in a week, and I’m not gettin one this week either. But oh well ya know? Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Anyway, I’m headed to gap tonight. It’s an easy/short night; 5:15-10. After that, I don’t really know what I’ll do. Hang out with friends I s’pose. Hmmmm….. I do have something to blog about (celebrities, and people with and/or without manners) but I know it will put me in a bad mood to talk about it so I’ll save it for later when I’m already in a bad mood. Haha.
Alright then… I guess I’ll talk atcha later. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know more about me. Gotta get back to my laundry though… so…. C ya!!
Jacob
Talk atcha later!
Who did this clown suck off to get a Register blog?
Haha. C ya!!
Why, it wasn't that long ago when newspapers regarded bloggers as being "humorless, thin-skinned and have a grandiose sense of their own importance."
In fact, some newspaper columnists explained blogging to the masses in this way: "Perhaps you have not heard of blogs. The name derives from a combination of 'blather' and 'logorrhea.'"
Then came the warning from one newspaper reporter about how the public should "Know that if the information is coming from the mainstream media - the accredited reporters, broadcasters and photojournalists - they are following strict professional guidelines that the looser outlets don't require. The information has been verified, has been scrutinized by editors, has been fact-checked and proofed." and to ignore blogs.
