Joseph Rago Wall Street Journal Quote on Blogging

Mr. Rago, assistant editorial features editor at The Wall Street Journal, eloquently addresses the blogosphere as:

The Blog Mob: Written by fools to be read by imbeciles.
Joseph Rago

This may be the most pretentious attack I’ve seen by a journalist yet! As a former newspaper professional, it’s disappointing to see this attitude. Even worse, I’m a fan of the Wall Street Journal. Rather than embracing the information superhighway, newspapers think it should be maintained as an information toll road … and a one-way road at that.

Mr. Rago, I’m sorry you’re losing control over deciphering, filtering, and editing information before we can digest it. I’m sorry I lack the vocabulary and grammatical skills of someone of your stature. Perhaps your opinion has something to do with everyone else’s opinion of your product:

Or this… Technorati in comparison:

Mr. Rago, you may want to keep an eye on this fool… he’s attracting quite a few imbeciles (bottom right corner):

I look forward to comparing our readership next year… if you’re around. I doubt you will be.
