Blog Love

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

Egad! The Fox column’s getting reamed. I first got a flood of email from a 9/11 conspiracy website asking me why I’m not asking more questions about the obvious evidence proving Bush knew about 9/11 in advance.

Also got some nice email from left-wingers asking how a moral-values loving Faux-news employee like myself could defend a man-whore like Jeff Gannon-Guckert (Hint: It’s obviously because I’m raving hypocrite who hates gay people, but is willing to give them a pass so long as they voted for Bush).

Finally, lots of email from right-wingers who are sure that an “old media” journalist like me, who will never get over his liberal media bias, just doesn’t “get” blogs.

Blog criticism here, here, and here. The last one’s my favorite:

We need to bloglically castrate ijjits like this Balko fuck and his ilk. Or maybe just wait until their little skull pops out, and vacuum their doubtless tiny brains right out and down the sink…

…And this fucker works for Fox!

On the other hand, this guy seemed to like it.

    The “Jeff Gannon Hypocrisy” hypocrisy

    People like Balko are the only ones making any sense. Everything else is just partisan bullshit.

    Blogging … Blah, Blah, Blah

    Radley Balko has an amusing piece at Fox News entitled, “Blogging … Blah, Blah, Blah.”

    In truth, “blogs” are nothing more than a relatively new way of distributing information, just as radio, television, newsprint, and conventional Web sites…
