Mainstream ideas

Yori Yanover of USA Jewish had a protracted blogging fight with Jewish Whistleblower and Luke Ford. Miriam claims that the Jewish Whistleblower could not take it and shot down. Miriam writes that one of the reason for the decline in the Jewish blogsphere is not Prozac as we wrote below but the fact that �mainstream media hasn't been particularly inspirational lately� (puts certain obsession with the pop and the pope in a perspective). I am puzzled by this. Why would a blog want to turn itself into a commentary page for the �mainstream media� and the �mainstream ideas� for that matter? A pedestrian task in my mind. The blogs are about supplanting the media, about generating it�s own creative beat. One day the old guard papers will integrate commenting and put � of the blogs out of business.
