Too much hot air in the blogosphere

Dusk | 19.11.2005 07:02 | Analysis

As the Indymedia newswire descends into incoherent ranting, looks like others are taking note.

One key feature of internet discussion is just how much of it consists of ignorant and intemperate saloon-bar ranting, as each blogger and respondent rambles on as if he (and it ususally us a he) is an expert on the subject and that anyone else's views count for nothing. The weblog phenomenon has done very little to raise the tone of political debate and plenty to lower it.
