The Anti-Blog

[Xipe Totec]

From NPR's "The Connection". Interesting commentary on the Blog phenomenon. Worth blogging about.

"Blogs offer a constant rush of political opinion: the gloating, the jeering, and those knockout punches. But not everyone thinks bringing punditry to the people is a good thing. New Yorker writer George Packer argues that by blurring the line between journalism and pure rant, blogs may not be the best thing for democracy...so who writes for you?"

Interviews with George Packer, writer for The New Yorker, and David Odesnik, blogger.
