Journalist Upgrade
By
I have a simple request for the blog administrator. With all the hullabaloo over conservative blogger Jeff Gannon’s press credentials, I think it would be nice if all contributors to the ontheborderline.net blog be given the title of journalist after the fourth contribution. Then, at some future time the person would be qualified to be considered for a presidential press conference.
A conservative mole in the elitist liberal press corp would be nice once and a while.

Does that mean I have to stop refering to you as “Sir Bob”! Personally, I consider most contributers to this blog journalists. One caveat, most people view journalists as writers of news. We have on this blog those who do one better thatn that. They write views or position papers, not just news.
No, Sir Bob is not necessary. “Mister” will be okay. I was always taught to call anyone older than me, mister, but these days that is happening less and less. I listened to Joe Sauchery (sp) yapping about a journalist’s qualifications. He never did define the term. To me a journalist can be anyone with a #2 pencil and can write intelligently or in the case of liberals, unintelligently.
