MICHAEL MALONE ON THE APPLE CASE: “What is a journalist? A court in California may give us an answer next week. And I’ll bet that it gets the answer wrong.” He continues:

These days, the MSM is hurriedly trying to pull up the drawbridge to protect the “professionals” inside from the nonjournalists beyond the walls. But the public isn’t fooled. For all the sniffing by the MSM about bloggers in pajamas and amateur journalism, most readers have figured out they can trust the reporting of a lone blogger like Iraq the Model as much if not more than the entire news apparatus of Reuters.

The cynical lawyers at Apple are trying to capitalize on that dispute and use the ignorant courts as its weapon in the process.

Indeed.
