Michael Weiss posts on Jewcy.com:
I’ve been covering the blogosphere for Slate for almost two years. In that time, I’ve formulated two laws which further immersion into the messy world of unvarnished opinion has done nothing to overturn:
Weiss’s 1st Law of the Blogosphere: Journalists who become bloggers will suffer in both roles because the abuse and stupidity they’ll face in the latter will make them psychologically less fit for the former.
Weiss’s 2nd Law of the Blogosphere: The crazier the comments section of a blog, the more interesting the blog.
