In fact, they sit all day watching the "wires" from Reuters and AP. Reuters and AP watch local TV, and scan local papers. Without the "wires", journalists would be lost. The stories which the papers cover on any one day are remarkably similar. The press are a "pack" and always have been. It’s a myth that journalists don’t use other people’s work.

Bloggers don't steal, they quote. There's a nuance of language in there that is important. Quoting someone is beneficial to them, as it gives them acknowledgement that they have written something notable - an acknowledgement that is enhanced by the link which allows people to go back and see the original. Stealing from someone implies that there is a victim who has lost something because of a blogger's action, which implication I think many bloggers would find insulting. I would have liked to have read the whole article to see if this is really what he is saying, but alas, it's behind a paywall.
