The Smear of the Blogosphere

Two days after Saul Hansell criticized Hotheaded Blogs, a page one story in today's New York Times cites a blogger in the second paragraph. This questionable noquarter blogger Larry Johnson, is used as a source when he only referenced hearsay - I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape.

So Hansell writes that anger in the blogosphere is giving blogs a bad name, but it's journalism when Michael Powell and Jodi Kantor grab what they need to say what they want.
