Being a Blogger is not a Credential

I have been noticing lately that many News broadcasts, podcasts, and magazine articles are referring to guests as “bloggers” as if this has somehow become a credibility indicator on its own. It is not. Â

Now, if this is followed by “and a professor at x university” or “a best selling author” or “zoologist who grafted a chicken to a poodle”… I’m fine with it. But just saying “blogger” is not enough.

Just a pet peeve here.
