This came up when I googled “unmitigated drivel” (see Jacoba Budden, above)… ’nuff said.

David is a better media strategist than many might credit him with! He set the cat among we blogging pigeons and then launched his very own blog that day. What an incredible way to get hits galore, get your name ‘out there’ and ensure that people who might never have heard of you, now sure as hell do! Bravo and applause for his chutzpah.

Dear Herbert. Kindly refrain from being a dunce

I didn’t attack him, I actually showed respect for the man. And you guess wrong on both accounts. Check your facts like a good journo

Dear ‘Herbert’,

Thanks for the smiles. Times like these, we take whatever humor is available.

Sincerely,
Harry

Dear Sir,
Kindly refrain from attacking David. He is a fine journalist, and his column is read by 1000’s each week (more so than I guess read your blog). I reckon that he also earns more than a blogger does….silly bloggers!
Sincerely
Herbert

[...] Even BL Ochman, respected US blogging maven and marketing guru, has taken on David Bullard after his rant about bloggers in the Sunday Times. Well done on going global, Dave! [...]

Hi Mike

Brilliantly written. And also, this is exactly why I didn’t write about David Bullard. It would only prove him right.

Very good blog post! It sets out the differences between blogging and professional print or visual news media. Why compare when they are really in essence different. Yes, sometimes they cover each other but the one rarely detracts from the other. I do however think that the blogosphere is more important to politicians than news media in the traditional sense. At least in the 1st world. Those folks want to know what the man on the street thinks. As we found out through Mr. Bullard, journalists can lose touch…
