STERNO'S GOING TO BLOW SEVERAL FUSES:

I do not dispute that these blogs and their authors are serving an increasingly meaningful role in the exchange of ideas and dissemination of opinion today. I read blogs, I think about blogs, I shake my head in wonderment at the bloggers' seeming indefatigability. But, more to the point, I shake my head in disappointment at how, in taking advantage of the Web's freedom to post a perspective, many of them fail even to aspire to the pursuit of perspicacity.

That is, they publish because they hear "something" from "someone" who is "reliable." Sorry, not good enough.


This isn't about DAVID VS. the Goliathan MMMMMMMMMMM-SSSSSSSSSSSS-MMMMMMMMMMMM. This is about ACCURACY. Sorry WONKETTE, sorry, WALTER WINCHELL!!!!!!!!!!, sorry, MR. ARAFAT SERAIT MORT!!!!!!!!!!, sorry, NRO, sorry, FR, NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
