"Web 2.0 is rubbish," Donnacha DeLong writes in The Journalist, a magazine from the U.K.'s National Union of Journalists. (Socialist swine!) DeLong writes that journalists provide "truly authoritative content" and that bloggers foul up the facts in the course of democratizing media. Yes, old media hacks always get to the bottom of everything. Like Visto's history of IPO attempts, for example. Oh wait, that was us. The Telegraph's Shane Richmond took umbrage with DeLong's article, calling it a "reactionary, badly-argued piece." Just like you'd find on the blogs, in other words. What I want to ask DeLong: Who said we wanted to democratize media? (Photo by Gastev)
