I had to think for a minute…. hmmm, maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s how whoever created the show *cough* Mona Scott Young, thinks of bloggers, who, like myself, are opinionated, resourceful, and aren’t star struck when people like *cough* Mona call us on the phone to fuss about leaking story lines.

Shoot… I can’t speak for all blawgs, but I BREAK stories over here and have great relationships with many “mainstream” journalists at CNN, AJC, etc. who come to ME for the scoop.?
