Forbes: Blogs are Dangerous
Forbes has run an alarmist cover story titled “Attack of the Blogs.”
LaShawn opines:
A blog swarm can be a stinging gadfly, a much-dreaded possibility, or someone’s worst nightmare, but in my opinion, blogging is free expression at its purest. If we’re willing to embrace this freedom, we ought to be willing to embrace its power.
Micro Persuasion summarizes:
The gist of Lyons’ soon-to-be maligned story is that blogs are “the prized platform of an online lynch mob spouting liberty but spewing lies, libel and invective.”
If that’s not bad enough they also squarely put the blame here on Google and Yahoo as our “potent allies.” It’s so ridiculous that two companies that have done so much to democratize media are being chastised for it.
Then again, I hear Geraldo plans restart up his blog soon, so maybe Forbes has a good point.
