AP vs Bloggers Causes Hell To Freeze Over
Tech : Duncan Riley
Posted: June 17, 2008

The ongoing battle between the mainstream media through its proxy the Associated Press (AP) and the blogosphere has caused hell to freeze over: Michelle Makin and Kos both supporting the same cause.

Thanks to a tip from Gabe Rivera, the allied forces against the AP according to the latest headlines on Memeorandum are broad indeed (click the image to enlarge).

The only difference between the different parties so far has been tactics. Many have been supporting the call first made by TechCrunch to boycott all AP stories, yet Kos is calling for the exact opposite, telling bloggers they should be quoting more AP stories, and large chunks of AP text to force AP to test its threats in a court of law.

We now await the next move from big media. See our previous story on AP vs Bloggers here.

    Dave Winer is the only person I've seen who is NOT running around with a pitchfork.

    Ontario: I'm not running around with a pitchfork. The old-school journalists are shooting themselves in the head fast enough without me having to do a damn thing.
