End of story. So that's all they write. <BR/><BR/>They love Melnyk, even though he's a crook who lives in the Barbados to avoid taxes. They loved Bryden even when he went bankrupt and left dozens of local small business up the creek. They loved Dudley and Gauthier and Johnston even though they all bolted. They loved Martin and Down Goes Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150805735008417848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-7265034517145169612008-06-14T23:37:00.000-04:002008-06-14T23:37:00.000-04:00I wonder if the resentment of the traditional medi...I wonder if the resentment of the traditional media isn't somewhat simpler... the blogger steps into the columnists shoes, without climbing the ladder of beat reporting first.<BR/><BR/>Further, as a result of the competition the bloggers create and deal with, simply getting the tap on the shoulder from a paper and being given a column isn't enough; they then need to compete with the "blogosphere"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-61629083098162270532008-06-13T16:21:00.000-04:002008-06-13T16:21:00.000-04:00GB - An interesting comment...The standard thinkin...<B>GB</B> - An interesting comment...The standard thinking is competition is good for the end user. With Leaf fans having so many options for information and so many outlets competing for their eyeballs you'd think the cream would rise to the top. But in my experience, the competition has led to hyperbole, rumour mongering and lots of idiotic filler.<BR/><BR/>What will be interesting is if the MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-23528347521826885992008-06-13T16:10:00.000-04:002008-06-13T16:10:00.000-04:00Who has the mini bar key?Who has the mini bar key?Jaredoflondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068330186764290021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-29610948743882128762008-06-13T12:34:00.000-04:002008-06-13T12:34:00.000-04:00Interesting post.
