STERNO is mad because
THE PAPER OF RECORD self-interestedly tried to paint bloggers as idiots, and further tried to put the kibosh on the medium as dying. Any mode of communication will have its fruitcakes (i.e., newspapering?), but blogging is definitely not the flavor of the month. On the other hand, there is no denying that for most bloggers (yes, most), it's a fad they can't keep up with, and they just flat out can't WRITE, and after one or two stumbling posts about a non-existent personal life they fade away. And most of blogging IS personal. Very few have the stamina to keep it up day after day after day (and I don't flatter myself in writing this). And a troublesomely few pundits have any real power, which is why STERNO can afford to get mad.
This said, bloggers can scarcely do worse than
THE PAPER OF RECORD has done lately, and surely no worse than
CURLEY'S (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!) STOOGES when they extrude
PIECES OF CRAP like THIS.
