Should Bloggers Unionize?

I think the fact that it is the YearlyKos convention that suggested this is a bad thing in itself, and that last quote, even if it is in jest, is one of those wet dreams for progressive bloggers if they can control something like a union. A good way to stifle speech, really.

Personally, I'm a big reader of a myriad of blogs, mostly political in nature, and had dabbled in it for a brief time, and I would rather see blogging as a independent and individual enterprise. Blogging should be at most a devoted hobby, something to be done on one's spare time, and support should be provided by the readers who wish to see it continue. Bloggers who wish to make punditry and written observation their career should consider becoming journalists. Besides, for progressive bloggers, this should not be an environment all too different from their DU and DK circles.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
