"No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking."

I've whined about this before, and it wasn't very interesting then. Still, worth a quick look, if only because I've discovered that there's a name[1] for the error Andrew Marr's making here:

"Most citizen journalism strikes me as nothing to do with journalism at all.

"A lot of bloggers seem to be socially inadequate, pimpled, single, slightly seedy, bald, cauliflower-nosed young men sitting in their mother's basements and ranting. They are very angry people," he told the Cheltenham Literary Festival. "OK – the country is full of very angry people. Many of us are angry people at times. Some of us are angry and drunk".

"But the so-called citizen journalism is the spewings and rantings of very drunk people late at night.

"It is fantastic at times but it is not going to replace journalism."

Andrew, meet Theodore. And Charlie:
