| #4 It would be interesting to compare the educational and technical credentials of leading bloggers with those of leading journos. For ex.: Glenn Reynolds: JD Yale, leading expert on Space Law, Professor of Law at U Tennessee, vs Dan Rather, Buttwipe BA in Journalism from Sam Houston State College. Andrew Sullivan, MA, PhD (Politics) from Oxford, vs Eric Engberg, BA, University of Missouri School of Journalism. Dan Drezner, PhD Stanford, Professor of Poli Sci, U. of Chicago, vs Mo Dowd, BA Catholic U. Even the lefty bloggers are vastly better educated than the MSM morons-- for ex., Eric Alterman has a PhD in History from Yale, and Ana Marie Cox has an advanced degree, if I'm not mistaken, in Statistics. |

| #3 Yeah! Screw you, Slate. What were you thinking -- publishing information without access to the cautions being provided by the pool's experts? That's halfway to being a hate crime. Why, journalism without expert gatekeepers is like ice cream without Worcestershire sauce. I love it! ... And if I'm not afforded that respect -- well, Mr. Engberg, you may find that when you hold the intelligence and judgment of the American people in contempt, the American people will return the favor. And smile when you say parasite. We lawyers take that personally. The author, a lawyer, is a TCS contributor. |

| #2 Hilarious. A classic. Nothing more revealing of the stupidity, technical cluelessness and overall incompetence of our journos than their incoherent rants against the blogosphere. |
