That's an interesting characterization of Len's comments. It's certainly not the
conclusion I'd draw from his remarks.
The fundamental issue is bloggers/RSS/Atom have dramatically increased the
content being presented as news -- and many authors do not follow journalism's
rule about fact checking.
Perhaps we need to update specs such as Dublin Core and RSS to include a
<factChecker> element.
