I don't know what bothers me more. That FEMA held a fake press conference or that the press fell for the camoflage so easily. Bloggers aren't making journalist irrelevant; journalists are.
I certainly agree that many bloggers have as much if not a lot more journalistic integrity than many journalists working for traditional outfits. However, doesn't you linking to a story at the Washington Post (presumably, a member of the traditional media) which exposes the FEMA ruse somewhat undermine your point?
