Gawker Media released a promo video today with some rather interesting comments from well known and respected media types. “This guy, whether we like it or not, is the future,” says the angry Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger about Will Lietch the Deadspin Editor. I take offense to the news report how blogs and bloggers are part of some kind of Wild West of the internet where we blur the truth between news and gossip, the so called respected Buzz Bissinger goes on to say that blogs are “dedicated to cruelty, dedicated to journalistic dishonesty, and dedicated to speed”, Mr. Bissinger The Advert Fan is a blog and I am very proud of my blog you sir know nothing about the blogosphere.
As for Gawker Media, I really have no personal opinion either way but I will say this; Gawkers popularity speaks for itself, and I like the commercial because they aren’t hiding anything, the spot says we are what we are like it not.
