Another Corp Trying to Cash in on Blogging
While this bit of news from the NY Times, may not directly impact Toronto in a hard sense, the issue of corporate infiltration into the blogging community is certainly something to be aware of.
In a mildly overused Titanic-esque metaphor -- Wal-Mart is just the tip of the iceberg.

What is missing from this story is the corporate campaign by the anti-capitalist unions against Walmart. If they can't get the Wal-mart employees to unionize they are trying another old strategy of propaganda, regulation accusations, along with the help of the pro-union media (which the NY Times author is a member of). What people fail to realize, is that this doesn't hurt Wal-mart. It hurts the hundreds of thousand of employees trying to earn money for their families.
The biggest oxymoron I have heard is New York Times and ethics. To think none ever receives tips is preposterous. Why do bloogers use h/t.
