"You'd think she and John Cruikshank might be bothered to actually find out something about blogland before printing such a piece of abominable ignorance.  I'd stop reading The Star altogether if it weren't for the fact that I still want to read Broadsides and Zerbisias' column!"

Good analysis there, hys - in the US the Washington Post lost Froomkin to an electronic site - and he took his followers with him. Perhaps Cruikshank's attitude is indictive of why the MSM is declining and papers are failing everywhere. I could not see where AZ did anything but respond to the 'facts on the street', even if she put her unique point of view upon it. The "apology" did not treat the veracity of the post/blog - it dealt with the ideocyncratic opposition of Mr. Farber.
