While it used to annoy me a bit, at this point I just find it funny when know-nothing journamalists spout off about the blogs. Don't like them, don't read them, what do I care.
It seems our friend Skube has a history of this kind of thing.
It's all rather weird. I mean, I laugh and point too when the Pajamas Media gang claims they're "reporting" or whatever when their reporting involves... linking up to a bunch of reports they find in the evil emm ess emm, but that's because they're silly buffoons. I really don't understand this elitism which suggests that "amateurs" can't possibly find away to attract an audience with some form of compelling content, whether it's good writing, timely commentary, skilled news aggregation, pony pictures, some combination, whatever. And who cares if they do? It's all so absurd.
