."BEWARE THE BLOGGERS' BILE--" Joe Klein, Time, Inc.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T MOVE IN LOCKSTEP:

• "But the smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the left-wing sector of the blogosphere. Anyone who doesn't move in lockstep with the most extreme voices is savaged and ridiculed..."

(As has also been noted by a WashingtonPost.com writer, and posted here by me on May 15:

"Hate-mongers taking over web sites"---WashingtonPost.com)

• From Time.com, 6/6/07, "Beware the Bloggers' Bile," by Joe Klein, via Drudge Report

(If it helps you, Klein blames this on the usual liberal whipping post which doesn't exist if they'd only listen---talk radio. But even if you agree with his unsubstantiated claim, you still have to deal with his experience of the internet and its mob negativity).

• The negative mob doesn't discriminate--it controls baseball blogs as well. Many worthy voices simply say, who needs this? The worthy voices may still communicate with sponsors of ESPN baseball media to inform them of the frauds they're paying for.
