Do you agree with what Steve Dahl says here?
Everybody is a know-it-all these days -- chicagotribune.com
"Some people love how CNN employs Twitter to engage its audience. Not Steve Dahl. 'I am not interested in the take of @stinky on the Fort Hood shootings or any other current events,' complains Dahl of the access the media gives to Internet know-it-alls. 'I am watching CNN because I expect them to gather the news, not act as a clearinghouse for any bonehead with a computer, a cable modem and a half-baked opinion.'"
What is the best sort of marriage between these sorts of social networks, blogs, and the media?

Everything I've seen indicates CNN using it to fill airtime rather than as a journalistic tool.

DISCLAIMER: I have not watched the last two seasons of BSG yet.

What Dakar said, except also that CNN is trying to use Twitter to appear hip much like a 50-year-old middle-management guy throwing out slang he's heard his kids use.

When all major news providers basically have access to the same content, then their competitive energies naturally go toward presentation.
