Bloggers are by the root definition of the term “journalists.” They journalize daily events, writing them down to inform themselves and others.
I think the only reason this is an issue is because the MSM is trying to keep its Elite Citizen status, and they can’t do that with all of you peasants chipping away at their exclusive grasp on information distribution.

I’d say yes, inasmuch as we report on stuff and slant the information to suit our agenda. =)
Seriously, though, I’d like to think we had the same protections as the MSM.
