Smug But Right

by digby

Alan Wolfe reviewed the Halperin/Heileman gossip book this week-end in the Washington Post by framing it in terms of the blogospheric critique of the Village media. He thinks we’re smug and he wanted to believe that we are all jealous of the mainstream journalists’ greater abilities. But after reading the book he realized that we may be right.

I’m sure that doesn’t go down well among the Villagers (a term he uses throughout, by the way) but this book, and the media reaction, is such a perfect illustration of our complaints that it’s no longer possible to ignore them.

I’ll take that as a tiny victory. It doesn’t happen very often.
