It’s been interesting watching the looming battle between News Limited mouthpieces Andrew Bolt, Tim Blair and Crikey’s new blog Pure Poison
I was always a big fan of Boltwatch because Andrew Bolt’s free reign of deceptions is something that should be challenged. SoI’ve been following their new blog from the very beginning. It started off well with a few keen insights into why people like Bolt and Piers Akerman are often guilty of the very misinformation they often criticise the Left for. However, once Bolt began subtley (I say subtle because he refused to link to the blog) accusing Pure Poison of writing outright racist comments on his blog in an attempt to vilify him, it went a bit downhill from there. It has become a bit of a “he said she said” game over the blogs.
I see that Pure Poison have made a couple of posts since sticking to the original aim of the blog, I hope they keep this up and it doesn’t dissolve into just petty in-fighting. As much as I think Andrew would like it, I hope you guys don’t stoop to it.
In the mean time, I , like a growing number of people I know, consider Google Reader an essential part of my day. And it has a permanent slot in my Firefox tabs. So if you have any interesting media related blogs you think I should be reading, please comment and let me know, I’ll look into them and link to them from this site too, if they take my fancy.
