Journalists blogs?

 SUN has sent his correspondents to keep its readers to date with the latest news and views on the Middle East crisis with blogs "from the heart of Israel and Lebanon".

Nick Parker is a Chief Foreign Correspondent  posts daily blogs from war-torn Beirut.

Oliver Harvey is an award-winning Chief Feature Writer, based in Israel and updates his blog "as rockets rain down on the Jewish state".

God, how dull and miserabe these professional's writings look! Sun's desire to ride the wave is understandable, but neither of these two guys appears to be interested in what he writes about. So much to blogging.

And no, I'm not neutral. I prefer amateurs that go all the way to check and cite their sources to profies that just copy-paste the lies and rumours and season them with the "real guy first hand impression".
