Just as my faith in newspapers is on its deathbed, the New York Times manages to pump new lead life into it. They have tracked down our very own Scott Shields and identified his threat to our safety - or at least our blogginess. Or something.
The op-ed by K. Daniel Glover starts off with: THE Netroots." "People Power." "Crashing the Gate." The lingo of liberal Web bloggers bespeaks contempt for the political establishment. The same disdain is apparent among many bloggers on the right, who argued passionately for a change in the slate of House Republican leaders - and who wallowed in woe-is-the-party pity when the establishment ignored them.
You might think that with the kind of rhetoric bloggers regularly muster against politicians, they would never work for them. But you would be wrong.
"Lingo"? Hey, I'm from Texas and I don't use that word. Join me below the fold and I'll look at why Scott Shields is no threat to blogs, the political establishment, or our freedom - but possibly IS a threat to K. Daniel Glover.
