They should've done something to let in only the bloggers with some minimum criteria not all bloggers. So are all the bloggers whether beginner or old are allowed at CES.

It appears that just the individual in the gizmodo video will be banned for life from CES, but so far, gizmodo as a whole will be unpunished? WTF? I seriously doubt that he was a lone person in this, and that it was done without knowledge of anyone else at gizmodo. I would slap gizmodo with at least a full out ban on next years CES. They have enough to cover day to day it wont kill them, but it would show them that this shit isnt cool. Well, I would prefer more than a slap on the wrists for those guys.

CES does not allow bloggers to attend as regular press, but they do have a special 'blogger' category that gets them access to a 'press room' of sorts (only not as fancy) and I'm not sure what kinds of press access they have to press conferences. However its certainly a step in the right direction, but after the shit pulled this year.. you have to wonder if the show is going to regret doing that, or if it will all just go forgotten next year.

Not just by the show's organizing committee, but by readers as well. It's not funny when it's impeding my site's growth and profitability.
