DMFB didn't get the credentials because of his blog. He got them because he was doing a job for someone who was accredited. And I doubt he was trying for a MSM job with his blog. I think the real issue came down to how it was handled by the Oilers. Although I will say I am intrigued by both the way the Oil handled the issue AND the greater question about blogging's place in the future of media. Personally, I think bloggers will become more mainstream. And if they want credentials, they need to be civil. Not sugar coat it of be politically correct, but at least stay within what could be said on TV. As soon as DMFB was confronted and stopped, that should have been the end of it. If the Oilers declined to issue any more press passes to DMFB, that would be fine. But to go on the power trip that they did was wrong. To come out today and say, "I don't get too caught up in the blog world" is wrong. They are free to feel that way, but they can't be offended when they come off looking bad by making that statement. They can't be upset when they are held accountable for their actions. ;) I think the whole circulation thing you bring up is irrelevant. DMFB didn’t get the credentials because of his blog.

They'll come around and will not be relegated. Hey, Tottenham is just a slow starting team… kind of like Kipper. They’ll come around and will not be relegated.
