In his op-ed peace for <em>The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em>, he informs us that such journalistic mediums as CNN YouTube debates, political blogs, and cellphone videos are, in a word, crap. At least when it comes to giving and receiving accurate, Pulitzer-worthy information. </p>

<p>Granite, the only time we here at SFist concern ourselves with accuracy is if it involves us getting something for free, butt old man <a href="http://www.grady.uga.edu/resources.php?page=facultyandstaff_profiles.inc.php%7Cfac_ID=17">Hazinski</a> has a point: "unfettered citizen journalism" really needs standards. Makes scents, right? Standards that, presumably, can only be created, administered, and understood within the holy temple of j-school. But if he's sew intent on maintaining the time-honored tradition of elbow patch-adorned sports jackets, hiding flask of whiskey in desk drawers, and spewing phrases like "excellence in journalism" or "hot scoop!" then why the does <a href="http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/stories/2007/12/12/citizened_1213.html">his article</a> mimic any <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TLDR">TLDR</a> posting you might find on l'Internet? The exact shit he's freaking out about?</p>

<p>Take, for example, how <a href="http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/stories/2007/12/12/citizened_1213.html">Hazinski</a> -- the head of broadcast gnus at the University of Georgia -- misspells "principles." Twice. </p>
