I think that the real issue is the clock and the fact that there are
only so many viewing hours in a day. For me, there is now more media
to sift through on the web than I can handle and so there is almost no
time left for TV (or text blogs for that matter). I really only watch
TV to be social (image that!). I'm sure there are some good things on,
but I don't have time for them.
Also, there are so many bad or negative things on (mainly ads and what
passes for "news") that I actually enjoy not seeing them. I imagine
they will find their way to the vlogosphere in due time (some already
have).
My wife just got an iPod. Now I send her media. More viewing minutes
that have to come from somewhere (for both her and me).
So now I am locked in a head-to-head battle with CSI for her
attention. It was like that when I was watching too. ;)
Now if Tivo came with a few extra hours for each day... ah hell, i'd
just watch more vlogs :)

Is it fair to use such a blanket statement? There is plenty of good
stuff on television, most of it is not on the major networks. (Though
Arrested Development nearly made me laugh my *ass* off last night.)
Maybe blogs suck, or videoblogs suck, or... you get the idea, it's all
really personal opinion.
yeah, we're all learning the balance.
blogging wont bring down traditional media.
but blogging(text, audio, and video) does offer a greater and greater
alternative.
ive had a clear realization during the current coverage fo the
Fitzgerald indictments:
blogging lets the people help tell the story.
why?
because journalists either are lazy or dont have the time to research.
usually they turn to think tanks(heritage foundation), experts, etc
for their info....
now blogs are now becoming a reliable resource...so we start seeing
blogs affecting how traditonal media reports.
Blogging has done a GREAT job documenting in detail how the current
adminstration has led the US into war. and now you see this info
popping up on the traditonal outlets.

bloggers of all sides can go back and forth clarifying the facts.
as far as entertainment, sometimes I want to watch a Hollywwod movie/TV show.
sometimes i want to watch independent or homemade video.
the point is: now i have a choice when there was none.
