The political world already dealt with this blog angst thing three years ago, and got over it.
Unlike some of you, I had this post as my first exposure to this live extended rant.
The most annoying thing, by far, about Bissinger's approach is the needless generalization. Eugene Volokh wrote a long time ago about how absurd it was to describe any communication medium as a monolith. (This might not even be the best Volokh post on the subject, just the best I could find in three Google searches or fewer.)
Fortunately, Fire Joe Morgan made the exact same point (which I would have realized had I read the comments to the Reason post before now).
