“Let me just say, he [Paul Krugman] is influential because if you’re a blogger, and you’re still living in your mom’s basement, and you got Cheetos all over the keyboard, you type in your underwear, unlike Alex Trebek, then yes, you look at Paul Krugman and you think yes, he is my hero.”

Joe Scarborough on Paul Krugman, “The article that had Scarborough all riled up — “The Centrist Cop-Out” — was published yesterday.” - Mediaite

“In his first post arguing that [Dave] Weigel’s hiring evinced the Post’s journalistic decline, [Jeffery] Goldberg relied upon “one of [his] friends at the Post,” to whom he granted anonymity to trash Weigel as an “idiot” and someone who has “destroyed” the paper’s reputation. Just think about that: in the very same post where Goldberg pretentiously grieved for the collapse of journalistic standards, his “source” was a cowardly “friend” of his at the Post who was granted anonymity solely to spit out catty, petulant name-calling. Is that supposed to be journalism: granting anonymity to your friends to puke up conclusory condemnations of other reporters? That’s like lamenting the decline of American journalism while quoting the answers provided by one’s Oujia Board.”

High-res kylebunch: A new study from Emarketer says there will be 128.2 million (58% of the population) who read blogs at least monthly by 2013. Which is good, b/c they estimate there will be 37.6 million bloggers churning out content at least once a month. And that doesn’t even touch the tweets. (Not sure about the tumbles.) [via]
