in a way, the contempt these guys show for the blogs makes a lot of sense. if ever an editor with half a brain gets in charge, the bloggers are the kind of reporters they’ll turn to to spice up their pages. the old boy network that comes up with these columns exists in such a fact vacuum, and they come up with the kind of unresearched nonsense you see here. on a semi-related note, it makes me endlessly happy when guys like ford get scooped on stories by deadspin and the like. then they cry about out it. and proceed to produce more drivel.

Know what boggles the mind the most Mark? The distaste these guys spew towards the internet/blog trend that has basically taken over the country. You know – maybe embracing the trend would keep readers interested. Check out any of the columnists blogs on Philly.com – they get updated every 3 months.

thanks for pointing out this bullshit. these ancient columnists can get away with writing anything since they have no threat of losing their jobs. that business needs a lot of new blood, and fast.

unfortunately, media people have a huge amount of pressure to dumb things down, spice things up and sensationalize.
