Folks, you have this entirely wrong. These aren't journalists. Don't hold them to journalistic standards. As much as a lot of bloggers want you to believe that, because credibility brings eyeballs, they just aren't.

Gary is at best a pundit, at worst, a salesman. Often enough, he's a combination of both. I don't know that he tries to hide that, either. His job isn't to deliver you objective, fact-checked news. It's to deliver his opinion and to get you to sign up for credit cards. I'm not saying that as a negative thing about him, either. That's who he is and what he does for a living.

If you've ever wondered why actual journalists balk at bloggers getting press credentials, this is why.
