The New York Times on BLOGS (again!)

The NY Times seems to be fascinated (rightly so) with the blogosphere. Unfortunately, so far, the newspaper hasn't come close to publishing an article that truly informs and educates readers. One thing they always seem to "miss" is the URL of any blog they are writing about. Another is, they don't seem to have a real grasp of what's going on in the blogosphere. Ideally, they should interview at least TEN bloggers with varying points of view, if for no other reason than to underscore the fact that blogs are shepherded by unique individuals with unique points of view. Today's piece "Conservative Blogs are More Effective" By Michael Crowley seemed awfully stupid to me. And netsurfing later, I found one my favorite bloggers agrees... "...since when did the NYTimes let ignorance get in the way of its "journalism"...
When it comes to blogs and bloggers, perhaps the NYT should check out the way the media in Singapore handles the topic.
