That was a nice commentary on MSM blogging. The problem with readers when MSM starts blogging especially in our setting is that they get awed by the columns. In the process, they resort to provide mere comments which are not altogether bad but does not and may not necessarily entirely reflect their views.

But that’s the point of blogging. You go beyond making comments and come out with your opinion on the matter. In that way, blogging empowerment is enhanced.

MSM would then have to compete with the bloggers in the marketplace of ideas and comments. They may be seasoned in the writing craft but no one has a monopoly on ideas, great or small. And that is why I believe that blogging is this generation’s most liberating influence. We have seen that in the US. I hope to see it here.
