We Got Them Mad! We Got Them Mad! We Got Them Mad!

Vaughn Ververs on CBS News' Public Eye: "The word of the day is: 'overreact.' As in, bloggers and commentators certainly did overreact to our posting about journalists who blog. … If one reads our entry about journalist bloggers, it's really pretty clear what we were shooting for. Brian stipulated in the opening that the purpose of this was an exercise in looking at journalists who are writing blogs that 'allow them to say what they don't on the air or in print.' Perhaps the parameters of this could have been explained a little better, but we thought it was fairly clear. We were trying to demonstrate how many people who are best known as (mainstream media) members are now blogging."

I guess (egos + peers / ranking) x blogging = arrgh!, or something.
