Blogs v. traditional news

Watch blogger Nico Pitney of The Huffington Post and Dana Milbank of The Washington Post tangle over what’s appropriate at a presidential news conference.
Pitney got a call from the White House, solicited questions from Iranians and posed one to President Obama.
Was that proper? Did he get too close to the administration? Was this collusion?
Pitney works for a liberal Web site; Milbank, though a columnist, is a more traditional journalist. The rules are changing but are there pitfalls?
The tape is funny and thought-provoking at the same time.
Plus here’s Pitney on The Huffington Post. And MIlbank’s column.
