Bloggers that act as citizen journalists should be held with the same rights and duties as "legitimate", out-from-college journalists. The same old story of the bird that walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck should be applied in this case, even if it isn't a legal precedent. Otherwise, the gallant people that make the work that usually "legitimate" journalists refuse to do (tell the truth), could be facing the same destiny of
Robert Stacy McCain : being harassed by Brett Kimberlin, an unrepentant terrorist funded by
George Soros and
Barbara Streisand among others.
