A cautionary tale for all those who think the mainstream media is obsolete now that all the real journalism is being done by bloggers.

Boing Boing notes that Canadian blogger Jeremy Wright may have been denied entry to the US because he didn't have a media "I" visa in his passport.

Leaving aside the question of whether someone who tells immigration their profession is "blogger" deserves a damn good slap, Wright deserves little sympathy.

You want to be a journalist? You fill out the paperwork and spend half a day queueing at the US Embassy for your I visa like the rest of us have to.
