Sinclair Broadcast Group has likened a pair of bloggers to Armstrong Williams in their commentary segment The Point. This comes as Sinclair promises to investigate their involvement in the Armstrong Williams scandal -- and as Sinclair's head honcho attended an Inauguration Day reception at Williams' house.
The commentary was called "Disclosures" and argued that journalists should disclose potential conflicts of interest to their readers or viewers. This is a basic tenent of journalism.
But The Point pointed to bloggers Jerome Armstrong of MyDD.com and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga who runs DailyKos.com. Thing is, they both disclosed that they took money from the Howard Dean campaign to promote him on their sites. (NewsCentral.tv)
