YEAH, WE'RE WATCHING YOU TOO
Media whore and BFEE suck-up Howard "whoreward" Kurtz on 'How Weblogs Keep the Media Honest' (as usual, he doesn't really say much, unless you count his pantie-wringing over Andrew Sullivan):
"Web loggers, for those who have been vacationing on Mars, are one-person Internet blabbermouths who pop off to anyone who is willing to listen. They often slam each other like pro wrestlers, but some of the best take on – sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly, often ideologically – the big newspapers and networks.
"Some media critics dismiss bloggers as self-indulgent cranks. That's a mistake. They now provide a kind of instant feedback loop for media corporations that came of age in an era of one-way communications. Sometimes these are just policy arguments dressed up as media criticism, but that's okay....[B]loggers aren't so easily dismissed. They don't bluster. They deal in specifics and they work quickly, while the stories they target are fresh. They link to sources, to one another's sites, and to the articles under attack, so readers can judge for themselves." - In other words, not at all like you, you sycophantic germ. Do you really want a link to this wasteball's column in the Washington comPost?
