So Dave Winer's complaining about the media again. That's fine, but then he ends with this:
Anyway, the average discourse in the blogosphere is no better than television. It's all pretty lame I guess. Whatever.
Ok, so apparently no matter how old you get, everyone's still got a petulant teenager inside them somewhere. I get that. But what's the point of ragging on "average discourse in the blogosphere?" I would contend that "average discourse" everywhere is pretty lame. Still, so what? There's a difference between some random schmuck with a web site talking about politics, what happened on the way to work, or why his butt itches and someone in the news media whose job it is to help keep the public informed on issues that matter. By all rights discourse on television should be held to a higher standard than "the blogosphere" as a whole.
