We can see how the MBA wanting to meet with the AP let the AP float an air of legitimacy. "See, we're meeting with bloggers to work this out." It's like Dems going on Fox news, Oliver. Don't give the enemy a chance to look legitimate. We can read.

They've never claimed to be representing more than one person or their members. Why can't anyone read anymore? The MBA is representing one person.

That's like picking Microsoft to represent all software companies or Google to represent all search engines. Kinda silly when you think about it.

The AP has no legal leg to stand on. Negotating with a few bloggers who call themselves an association means nothing. Copyright laws and fair use are clear.

That would explain why they complain when one does, but never set about setting up one of their own. I think the point may be that some bloggers don’t want a group to step in and represent them?

Damn it, it's what I see the liberal blogosphere doing time after time. Shoddy research, going off half-cocked, overkill, bludgeoning, passing the cudgel from one blog to another. I hate that this shit happens, and happens so often, and happens by people who call themselves liberal, and who are the first to decry the illiberalness and the evilness of people who disagree with them. Oliver,

Speaking from the eye of this particular blogstorm, I've been frustrated by how much of an ass-kicking Robert Cox and the Media Bloggers Association has been taking. I wrote another post on my blog making clear exactly how they got involved: http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/news/3370 Thanks for saying this, Oliver.
