Fresno Bloggers: TV news shows why we're better behind the keyboard
Remember when I told you last week that CBS47 was doing a story about Fresno bloggers -- here's video proof that it did indeed air and that I didn't make the whole thing up. This features me and Mikey from The Fresnan.
Be sure to watch 'til the end for an extended Beehive shout-out and some love for H-Mac. We like you too, Zara!
There's a second segment with Mike from Queer Fresno that you can watch on the CBS47 site. And since we at The Beehive are all about bloggeraderie, go check out CBS47's newly launched blogs.
To further the bloggeraderie, here's a bunch of links to Fresno blogs that H-Mac and I put together a few months back. It was supposed to be a blog roll for The Beehive, but that never materialized for some reason. This list might not cover everything, so if you've got a good Fresno blog to recommend, drop it in the comments.

Nice Job Mike. I wonder how much $$ H-Mac paid for the shout out!

When I saw the split screen of Oz and myself, it was the scariest thing I've ever seen in my internets box machine - right after that no bellybutton girl.

I'd recommend This is Conlan. Because I'm in Fresno.

Jon B./troll: I would love to see you talk s*** to me in person. It would be so much fun to watch. I'm guessing that act of bravery will never occur, though. Pity.
In addition to Mike Oz, Channel 47 should have interviewed Brodiemash for this. The Beehive steals from him all the time, and he definitely has the best blog in Fresno -- after the Beehive, that is. ;)

Props to the blogosphere.
@Jon-B-Trollin it appears you are on heather's bad side...suck for you dude. sucks for you.
Thank you to all the bolggers who keep me entertained and informed. You guys (and gals) rock!!!

@Heather: I told Steve to talk to the likes of Brodiemash, Famous Whitewater, Ed etc. But, Mr. Mash was out of town, Famous is just too damn busy and cool to be on TV. And Ed? Well, Steve already met his quota of an indie-blogger-white-nerd for his story.

What happens when you combine the sarcasm of Ambrose Bierce, the wit of Voltaire, the contradictory nature of Thoreau, with the balls of Winston Churchill?

Nicely done fellows. Keep up the good work.

Boo! I had the dishonor of viewing this broadcast and I lost my lunch.
Posted by: Enrique at November 17, 2008 5:37 PM
why enrique? i watched the video and thought, "man, corporate news is pretty shallow a lot of the time. they could have done a much more in depth report."
and that's not just because i'm bitter i didn't make it into the story.
btw, did you know that cbs47 people now have blogs? the sports guy, the news anchors, the weather guy, blogs! blogs blogs blogs blogs.
i actually think they're sport's guys blog is decent. and ken malloy's, and roopam sidhu's.
mike scott's blog is terrrrrrrible. looks like a dumping ground for internet forwards.

Awww, I feel the love! I really can't go more than a few hours without checking in on my favorite Beehivers...

Mike: Thanks for the shoutout on the Big 47 Blogs. I'm a big fan of the Beehive and your Post No Bills. Keep up the great work!
