Community College Yokel Offended By Convention Snub

That bloggers get front seats bothers Tom McPhail, a journalism professor at the University of Missouri.

"They're certainly not committed to being objective. They thrive on rumor and innuendo," McPhail says. Bloggers "should be put in a different category, like 'pretend' journalists."

Those who can't do, whine.

McPhail's a little light on the credentials, actual reporting-wise, and it looks like he last published anything worth mentioning in 1987. But he does have a second job with the phone company.
