Whenever journalists scoff at the undifferentiated mass that is "the bloggers" they inevitably bring up the issue of "accountability" or, more specifically, the lack of it.
Years later I still have no idea what they have in mind. What kind of accountability are they talking about?
In any case, I doubt John Caroll is going to resign in shame from his media and faculty gigs, so I suppose there's no accountability in his world either. Whatever that means.
