I removed the following from the article. It should be obvious why.

“Without the Strib behind him [Black], as a blogger, he no longer has the wherewithal “to make a story a story.” In that respect he’s now like the rest of us out here on the blogosphere—writing the news that the papers don’t print, doing the deep coverage that the broadcast media can’t do—hoping that the bed-ridden, decaying old mainstream media will do us a favor and pick it up for publication, so that it becomes a “real” story, a story that changes minds.” ^[1]

I'll try and objectify it into something useful when I find time. --Mierk (talk) 01:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
