Bloggosfären sågas på WSJ
Joseph Rago på Wall Street Journal sågar bloggosfären i en artikel med underrubriken “written by fools to be read by imbeciles”:
“The blogs are not as significant as their self-endeared curators would like to think. Journalism requires journalists, who are at least fitfully confronting the digital age. The bloggers, for their part, produce minimal reportage. Instead, they ride along with the MSM like remora fish on the bellies of sharks, picking at the scraps.
…
This cross-referential and interactive arrangement, in theory, should allow for some resolution to divisive issues, with the market sorting out the vagaries of individual analysis. Not in practice. The Internet is very good at connecting and isolating people who are in agreement, not so good at engaging those who aren’t. The petty interpolitical feuding mainly points out that someone is a liar or an idiot or both.”

Härligt. Men eftersom journalister älskar att diskutera journalism är det naturligt att de väljer journalist-vinkeln och tror att bloggar är journalism. Jag skulle vilja påstå att merparten av bloggarna inte alls utger sig för att vara journalistiska. Jag antar att de inte tror att Mahmoud Ahmadinejads blogg ska vara en sådan journalistisk blogg?

Eller så ville han bara ha blogguppmärksamhet.
