Its the usual "throw it at the wall and see if it will stick" mentality that worked when journalism had no competition. They do the least amount of work possible, spin it into a 600 word column and cover their laziness with a that holier-than-thou "we're Godlike because we protect the People's right to know" attitude. There is a reason why Bernie Lincicome and others like him are blogging. Its because the public has determined that they and their ilk are full of garbage and are no longer reading their now-defunct newspapers (like the 150 year old Rocky Mountain Times, where Bernie worked until it went under last week.) The vail is off now that the public has access to people who are just as thoughtful (and often more so), really do their research and can produce better pieces for free than the newspapers do. Nobody cares if they work for a newspaper. The most telling thing about Telendar's piece is that he is so far behind the times. He says, "If you think you can do better at writing nearly 200 research-driven, hopefully informative and entertaining sports columns a year, welcome to it." The dissolution of so many newspapers in America should tell him that most of us are way ahead of him and have made ourselves "welcome to it". The saddest part is that I thought that Telendar was better than such self-indulgence. Looking back, I can see that I was wrong. The fun thing will be sticking his comments up his backside when the Sun Times goes under and his only outlet is a blog. -- Seat 106Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-69581044480109125262009-03-13T12:59:00.000-05:002009-03-13T12:59:00.000-05:00I have a blogger for Rick: Bernie Lincicome. http:...I have a blogger for Rick: Bernie Lincicome. http://bernielincicome.com<BR/><BR/>Rick's lost quite a bit of a zip off of his fastball, but he was better suited for longer pieces than a 600-word column anyway.
