Is it coincidental that Doonesbury in his "comic" strip today makes fun of bloggers, or that today's Sunday Parade magazine talks of blogging as something less than meaningful, or that today's Chicago tribune has a perjoritive column about the blog and it's pitiful participants. I have another view.
There was an old cops and robbers show named Cannon. Frank Cannon. A big detective (Played by Robert Conrad) drove a huge Lincoln Town Car.
This was a Typical Plot Every Week:
- Cannon gets phone call - My Husband died. I think he was killed.
- Cannon goes to another town to investigate his death.
- After his investigation Cannon tells the widow, looks like he died of just an accident.
- Goes to get in his Lincoln
- A bullet comes thru the windshield.
- Someone doesn't like his poking around.
One other part. The Cops in the town Cannon goes to always resent his investigation. They arrest him. Hassle him. Keep information away from him. Cannon is disrespected. In spite of all the pressure from the establishment he gets the job done.
That's exactly what's going on right now. The establishment press hates us. They wish we would go away. These frontal attacks are a symptom. No one ever kicks a dead dog.
Consider all the negative blogger comments in the press a bullet thru the windshield. We must be poking around where people don't want us to.
Keep it up.
