Nice Little Discussion.

It's happening at Krempasky's blog, and (primarily) at On Tap. Krempasky postulates:

Traditional (read: career) reporters who have never had a “run-in” with bloggers are a lot like the wide-eyed college kid who still drinks tequila.

Traditional reporters who have had that “run in” tend to become one of two people:

1. The cautious but respectful one that realizes that thereÂ’s fire in that there bottle. One? Two? No problem. Life of the party and all that. Five? Call your office, you wonÂ’t be in today.

2. The villain at the end of every Scooby Doo episode shaking his fist at the sky (or in handcuffs) saying, “if it wasn’t for those damn kids . . . ”

[Yes, everyone. I fixed a typo in the quote. I really can't help myself, okay? Get off my back. I didn't change "damn" to "stupid," so I'm not wearing my fact-checking hat. But the proofreading one is permanently attached to my head.]

1 Everyone knows the canonical quote is "if it wasn't for those meddling kids!"

2 I'm positive I heard "stupid" at some point . . . we'll have to review the scripts, now.

3 Alcohol and webloggers always seem to be near each other. We're like really old-school journalists.

4 I always relate to the old stereotype about how the reporters are in these rumpled suits, and manage to look homely no matter what. I'm like that with my laptop and briefcase and handbag and whatnot: on the surface, at least, very scattered.
