Slog <BR/> <BR/>This is a hybrid of slag and blog and incorporates the idea of someone who slags someone or something in a blog.<BR/>In his latest item, blogger John Smith slogs the X company and its president for blatantly making a conditional land deal with the Y company and then hiring consultants. It is an obvious slog by Smith, who doesn't care if he knows all the facts. In his opinion, he's a blogger and isn't bound by the same moral and ethical guidelines and terms as traditional media, particularly if he is not identified in his blog site. <BR/>***************************<BR/><BR/>I guess "journalists" need to try to differentiate themselves from us sloggers.Cangamblehttp://www.cangamble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-73917865891197143302009-03-27T19:36:00.000-04:002009-03-27T19:36:00.000-04:00I left the link bait thing up to interpretation.

Except of course for the link bait accusation, which is somewhat justified, although the text did originally start out as a response and just ended up a little bit too off-topic and too long to post it as a comment.malcerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02913127739083446726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-41163020968880009842009-03-27T07:55:00.000-04:002009-03-27T07:55:00.000-04:00Right on PTP!
