I find it hard to describe it otherwise. Look at this thread. Tell me how anyone who's ever actually been written about could regard the press as the infallible source of reliability it's being painted as.
The press? A bunch of dunces. They print all kinds of crap. But - if they print *bad* crap they have to pay Actual Money so they tend to be at least marginally careful.
Bloggers can also be sued for Actual Money. In the case of the Bauer lawsuit aren't the sources we're citing in the article also being targeted directly as well?
Especially considering the blog in question is written by an Actual Editor of considerable experience.
Answering "this blog is not crap" with "lots of blogs are crap" is unconvincing as an argument.
