They (our betters) have freedom of speech, but when we speak, we're "morons"?

When an elite lies about our military and we point it out we're the ones who are wrong? Gimme a break.

The little people don't know their place when dealing with the high and mighty liberal elites of CNN or CBS or the Columbia Journalism Review? Maybe the little people don't care.

Is the rise of crusading bloggers a healthy development, as many media analysts maintain, or the creation of a new Wild West with no rules or responsibilities? Hours after Jordan stepped down, Steve Lovelady of Columbia Journalism Review e-mailed his verdict to New York University professor and blogger Jay Rosen: "The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail."

[Blogs are] not all the same; but maybe 88% of them are all the same----a handy recipe of innuendo, spin & PR, undercooked and then slapped onto the Internet without a care for accuracy or accountability. I'm always amused when residents of the blogosphere accuse mainstream media of self-satisfaction. In fact, mainstream media are wracked by angst and handwringing and undergoing a major identity crisis, one that has been written about at length ------while the blogophiles are busy congratulating each other for being such fine fellows, all in a closed loop, and righteously denying that they too have an obligation to serve the public interest. In other words, the common wisdom as to who is smug and who is not has it exactly backwards (as common wisdom so often does). We'll be continuing the debate today. Glad you're enjoying it.

PS - We're working on putting together a sort of Comments feature----but it won't be open to every lunatic on the planet who thinks he has a bright idea. When you do that, you just contribute to the static.
