ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers
Phil Shapiro writes "American Library Association president Michael Gorman is not too fond of bloggers and blogging. '[The] Blog People (or their subclass who are interested in computers and the glorification of information) have a fanatical belief in the transforming power of digitization and a consequent horror of, and contempt for, heretics who do not share that belief... Given the quality of the writing in the blogs I have seen, I doubt that many of the Blog People are in the habit of sustained reading of complex texts. It is entirely possible that their intellectual needs are met by an accumulation of random facts and paragraphs.'"

YoU cAlLing Us DuMB u tUrd BalL ?!?!?!
but who is to say that anyone gives a shit about the drivel that bloggers write? a waste of resources if you ask me.
case you wan`t to
Go to http://www.foxnews.com/ and, outside of the opinion section, find me a story that is viciously partisan, or inaccurate.
Watch FNC during the day during "hard news" coverage (i.e., FOX & Friends, FOX News Live, Special Report, the FOX Report), NOT op-ed (i.e., Hannity and Colmes, O'Reilly Factor) and find any inaccurate or overly one-sided reporting.
FNC broke several of the anti-Bush stories, such as the Bush drunk driving story.
If all you believe about FOX News is what you read in blogs, you're part of the problem I'm talking about.

You must read the NY Times. Try reading just about any other paper in the country, they are no where near as full of it as the NY Times is. In fact they make the Enquirer look good. You may also read what the socialists put out. That is 99% crap too.
