I just wanted to pop in quickly and let y’all know that I just watched the Nightline segment about Heather Armstrong from last night. And can I just say, very loudly for the world to hear, that it was WONDERFUL! I have recorded just about every national news segment on every blogger that has aired in the last four years. And I always feel like they’re edited awfully, or they’re interviewed by morons, or that the segments just don’t seem to get any point across about bloggers that I - as a blogger - can stand behind. I always feel disappointed when they’re done and think, Great. There’s another million-plus people who still are going to think we’re all a bunch of freaks.
But that segment last night? GREAT. It gave Heather a decent amount of free-range face time so that she seemed real, but they also interviewed her candidly and actually asked her good questions and edited the entire segment into something I can proudly stand behind and say, “Yeah! What she said!”
Sometimes I’ve felt like the TV journalist must have it out for bloggers - with the way they interview and edit the bits for their programs. Especially us “Mommy Bloggers” who make a certain redhead broadcaster UNCOMFORTABLE. The bloggers always end up in a bad light - especially the Moms. But ABC did a GREAT job on the segment last night and I really hope you try to watch it if you can. Thank you, Nightline, for finally giving me a piece about bloggers that doesn’t make me ashamed to be one.

Remember when I complained about how
