Ceci n'est pas une Blog

Here is an article on blogs from the Washington Post. About blogs...I know, we are all so tired of blogs. But take a look.

Talk about a clash of cultures. Vico would crap himself over the disparate nature of the discourse going down between two relatively similar (seemingly) individuals. So here we're seeing two distinct political cultural positions. The usual. But we also get to see an expression of a cultural position of the journalism industry.

So I quote this:

If you are reading these words in a publication called The Washington Post Magazine, then the bloggers have not entirely overtaken the so-called mainstream media -- yet.

I didn't ever read this article on paper, but in reading it the I did see ads for Vonage and HP printers. At least the MSM isn't as dead as painting--and that's been dead for more than 80 years!

One other thing: I liked seeing the information about pay levels for bloggers. I'd like to see a more complete accounting for the political blogging industry. (And if I ask for this information should I ask for similar information for real (MSM) journalists? What would that be?)

Goodness, a blog post about a MSM article about blogs. Cosmic.
