As gifted a writer...

"Bloggers are ordinary people, many of them uneducated and with nothing interesting to say. They're sitting in their rec rooms, regurgitating and spinning what real journalists have dug up through hard work. They don't have sources, they don't report, and no one holds them accountable when they make mistakes or flat out lie. Yeah, there's a new sheriff in town. Unfortunately he's drunk, he's mean, and he works for the bad guy."

as he is a cartoonist.

My, what a talent he is.

Here we go again. This sounds like the swift-boat veterans all over again. Attack the messenger and not the facts. Powerline attacked the documents Dan Rather and CBS news used as an example of their lack of credibility. Not attacking their credibility as an example of untrue facts.

Rall raises the question of his own "education". I suspect this was somewhat of a Freudian creation. Not that I need to know, since the proof is in the pudding. But.

Rall is just being a precious snob when he talks about "real journalists" (a coded expression meaning "journalists I agree with").

He's deliberately choosing to ignore the fact that "real journalism" is no better or worse in overall quality than "blog journalism."

"Real journalism" runs the gamut from the National Enquirer to the National Review...

Well I'm about to work on my daily opinion once I finish scratching myself and finish off a six pack

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
