The point of the article "Blog: All the Noise that Fits" is that in today's generation everybody is blogging on issue that they find "interesting" without even trying to find evidence to prove their opinion. While there are reporters who have the patient to find facts. Michael Skube states that a story written by a reporter or journalist takes time.
"...such a story demanded time, thorough fact-checking and verification and, most of all, perseverance..."
As said in the article by Andrew Sullivan, he states that journalism functions have changed over the past years. He states that blogging is free, but it could help you make a profit. Andrew says that people can also publish their own book, without doing much. People could just go to a print on demand website and make could of copies using their own money, then selling them with a higher price.
In other words, Michael Skube was against Internet blogging while Andrew Sullivan was with Internet blogging. When it comes to my opinion, I believe that i would agree with Michael Skube. I agree with him because I also feel that if you are going to tell the society about an issue that you find important you should at least gather some facts to prove that the issue you have is true, rather than just passing on some rumors that would cause a chaos and ruin somebody's professional or ordinary life.
