Another reason I quit being snarky.
You know you’ve made it when your in Market Watch, Australian Newspapers, American TV, all for shit you make up in your spare time. I didn’t write this story but I pitched it. I find it hilarious when I read Market Watch actually fucking quoting me on stories—- mention my list of the 10 most powerfully smelling women in the blogosphere. I mean powerful. Don’t hit me.
Best part of the whole piece:
Speaking of blogs, a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism doesn’t credit Web loggers with much initiative. In a review of news coverage, only 1 percent of bloggers’ posts were found to involve bloggers doing an interview, and only 5 percent resulted from other original work. The study, whose results are available at Journalism.org, surveyed the popularity of online news and found about 70% of respondents said they have read news online sometimes, and 30% “got news online yesterday.”
Dude if this guy/girl would have only known that journalists spend about 1/100th of their time reading ap wire feeds and thinking that’s any different. Then they quote the blogger who smokes the biggest blunt, and only blogs facts when he feels like causing a storm. Seriously this journalist deserves to be canned. < -- was that snark? Shit. Back to my cave.
An disappointed reader of mine said that you had found Jesus.
Tell him to forgive me.
Seriously, it’s all about balance. Nothing wrong throwing tomatoes at the people in the good seats every now and then. Some will get pissed but the smart ones will make salad.
