Apparently, some guy named Jim over at The Outdoor Wire (a webpage I have honestly never visited before) is reporting that the “blogosphere was rolling Friday and through the weekend with the story of the demise – or impending demise- of Daniel Defense”.
The only problem? There was no such “story”. Ironically enough, Jim was making up rumors about rumors (meta-rumors?), and then blaming the nebulous “blogosphere” for the fabricated ill-will against Daniel Defense (who is not closing, but is downsizing).
Cute. I guess being a professional “journlist” like him gives him the editorial lee-way to invent complete nonsense, and use a supposedly faceless “blogosphere” as a scapegoat. Hm. Far be it for me to tell anyone else how to do their jobs, but in this day and age of “new media”, that strikes me as a particularly unwise decision – a decision that he keeps making. Might want to mind that chip on your shoulder, Jimbo…
read what i mean, not what i write
Always mind your language, otherwise you will say stupid things, and have to make apologies like this one: Having heard from a couple of bloggers yesterday, I am going to plead guilty to an inexact application of the word “blogosphere”….
