MEDIA BLAMES "BLOGGERS"
FOR TEEN WEBCAM SUICIDE -

he "had been blogging on
an online body-building message board"

Elements of the American Media are conducting a cut-throat vendetta against American Bloggers by claiming that "bloggers" urged the Pembroke Pines teenager to commit suicide.

In a quote from the Drudge Report today:
he was "encouraged by fellow bloggers"

:: Their lede claims he was "egged on by fellow bloggers" and attributes this defamation campaign to "cops."

This conflation of message boards with Blogs is not an innocent mistake, but a deliberate vilification of Bloggers which is clearly intended to have a Chilling Effect on any point of view which they do not control.
