And those who can&#8217;t teach, teach gym.&#8221; We might add to that those who can&#8217;t write, write for the Columbia Journalism Review&#8211;judging by the risible piece in that magazine by one of its editors Corey Pein. Mr. Pein has authored a witless screed attacking bloggers for their behavior in the demise of Dan Rather, a kind of re-upped version of kill the messenger who brings the bad news, as if the bloggers themselves had been the forgers. I won&#8217;t bother to rehearse Pein&#8217;s paltry arguments, such as they are. They have been dispensed with sufficiently here and here. What I would like to discuss is the subtext. What concerns Pein is not the embarrassing Rather case, but his own livelihood. To write something so absurd&#8211;and before CBS&#8217; own report has been published&#8211;means Pein really feels threatened by blogs. In some ways, I feel sorry for the poor fellow.]]>Mon, 03 Jan 2005 13:58:39 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
