That e-mail addresses is an alias for several people, me being one. Although I&#8217;ve felt for years that Savlov is a prick, I responded in a helpful spirit, with some info and links.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from sending no &#8220;thank you,&#8221; message, Savlov ignored or contradicted everything I sent him, which (I assume) conflicted with the story he wanted to write. This is not to say that I am right and he is wrong, but if a journalist asks someone assumed to have some knowledge of a specific field, and gets a response that doesn&#8217;t agree with what he expected or has been picking up from other sources, he might shoot back &#8220;That&#8217;s different from what I&#8217;ve been hearing. Why do you say that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He took the typical old-media condescending view of blogs in general.<\/p>\n<p>And he spent about one-fifth of the story talking about a <a href=\"http:\/\/austin.indymedia.org\/\">site<\/a> that he acknowledges is not a blog but is &#8220;blog-like.&#8221; Whatever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The press says blogs are dumb.
