Pathetic. You can leave some choice comments if you’d like, and let this wanker feel a little blogswarm wrath. Avedon already skewered him:

Some bloggers are doing excellent, real, journalism. They do original reporting, make the phone calls, even put in some leg-work. They’re reporters, pure and simple.

Some bloggers do expert analysis when the subject matter is in our own field of expertise. This will usually be superior to what’s in the major newspapers.

The rest of us know that most of what we’re doing is not reporting. A lot of it is commentary, and no worse than anything you’d find on the op-ed pages of the major newspapers. (I mean, how much worse could you be than Krauthammer?)

And some of us are basically creating our own table of contents - links to articles elsewhere that might interest our readers.

And occasionally, even those of us who don’t usually do reporting or specialist analysis do some local reporting, or do some expert analysis in our own field.

And quite a lot of it is good and enhances our readers’ understanding of what’s going on - and this is vital in a real democracy.

Some of it is not so good, but once you’ve read The Washington Post, you’re used to seeing a mix of very good and very bad journalism.

Snap! Such sweet snark is a wonderful way to start a morning.
