Law and Order: Blog Monitor Force

I was watching Law & Order: SVU (the best out of all the spinoffs) the other day, and something stuck out to me. Mariska Hargitay is hot!...and so is the lawyer chick (the redheaded one, not Bobby Flay's wife). Ok...something else popped out at me too, the hired experts the defense and the prosecution both brought to the table in that episode. Each side spinning the spiel that blah blah blah blah blah....dang that lawyer is hot when she interrogates...what's the actress name...oh yeah Diane Neal.

Ok..back to the hired experts. One said, due to medical condition criminal wasn't responsible for crime, other said it was. Why did this stick out to me? It did because I was just thinking...if court cases can be decided on paid testimonies, what's preventing other outlets from doing the same thing? Such as blogs.

Blogs are mostly opinions and commentaries, but they're opinions and commentaries people listens to. So what's to prevent large corporation from hiring experts to write blogs in favor of them? or anonymously write a blog themselves?

We all know that ethics are in tatters in many American corporations. Every other fortune 500 company has been in a scandal where it could've been prevented if everyone followed the code of ethics.

Just a little food for thought while blogs continue to progress into the forefront of main stream media. Where blog celebrity can get their own Tv show, and blogs can bring upon a class action suit.
