I watched The Tyra Show today, and it was centered on “cyber haters.” Let me start off by saying that I like Tyra and I watch her show occasionally. That being said, I feel that the show needs better researchers. This particular episode started off with 4 guests. Tyra referred to them as bloggers, yet it was never mentioned what their blogs were.
During the time that these guests were on, it was said that they were anonymous commenters and that they would leave hateful comments of celebrity gossip sites. There is a big difference between a commenter and a blogger. I am a blogger. My website is a blog. I write articles/posts and people (commenters) leave comments on different posts that I write.
After watching Tyra, and listening to her refer to her guests as bloggers, I became frustrated and annoyed. The discussions were centered around comments that they make online. Leaving comments on a post does not make that person a blogger. Yes, you can be both a commenter and a blogger. My point is, nothing that was said on The Tyra Show indicated that these people were bloggers, except the fact that Tyra referred to them as such.
It frustrates and annoys me that Tyra’s staff did not prepare her well enough for this episode. The show ended up showing bloggers in a bad light. There are bloggers out there that are haters. It’s pathetic and sad. I try to use my blog to help people, and it is disgusting that there are people that will use their blog to hurt people. My point is that, in this case, I think bloggers are being insulted. The show makes us look bad, and it appeared that this people were not even bloggers.
