They've been talking about comments and blogs. By "they" I mean local bloggers far more serious than we are, media critics, real, bonafide mainstream media journalists and the like. We try to keep our pretty little noses out of grownup matters such as these ('cause most of the time our style just isn't appropriate), but we can't help but notice a little bit of snark when we see it.

From Dan Kennedy's Media Nation comes this gem:

The late David Brudnoy taught me an unfortunate truth about talk radio: that the callers tend to be dumber than listeners who never call, making it a challenge for the host to keep matters elevated enough not to alienate the audience. Media Nation certainly gets its share of thoughtful, intelligent comments, and I appreciate those. But Brudnoy's observation has obvious applicability to blogs, including this one.

It's like R. Kelly pissing on his audience; we love it!

We're reminded of that scene from The Wall where they play In the Flesh. Brilliant!

And, for the record, we think blogs are conversations — open, transperant conversations. Two-way.
