Worst Blog Ever

I’ve been accused of having the Worst Site ever. By someone that gives out that award frequently. Too bad he or she probably didn’t mean it. And BTW, I know who you are, and thank you for stopping by.

But there’s a worse site than mine. It’s blog site designed to be commercial, and by the tone of the writing, to give high school students a chance to get published, by writing about assigned topics. Or at least it reads that way.

One of the things I really like about blogging, is that more often than not, blogs are diaries. They aren’t intended to be mainstream reporting. The stories we read in blogs are often as much about the blogger themselves, as the topic they are writing about.

But at Pajamas Media, they’ve found a way to turn blogging into reporting. And quite often, pretty boring reporting at that.

But not always boring. Check this one out by John Rosenthal. He becomes absolutely gleeful that a kidnap victim in Iraq is going to be executed. He argues that she got herself kidnapped on purpose, to further the Baathist cause. And what is her crime that makes John gleeful of her impending death? Well, she was arranging aid shipments into Iraq. Evidently, providing aid to the people of Iraq is a bad thing.

And this really shows what the Far Right want to go in Iraq. The whole democracy and peace bit is just a public relations front. The Far Right not surprisingly sees all of the Iraqi people as the enemy. They aren’t viewing this war in the way the media depicts it and never will. They want Iraq completely crushed. Forcing democracy and freedom on a people at the point of a gun never worked, and never will. The Far Right knows this. And that’s never been the plan. They love war. They love death. War is nothing but sport to these people. It's a game that they send others off to play, so they can prime and primp. Manliness is sending boys off to die for your ego.

Combining corporate management, with pretend news reporting, in the service of warmongering has been done to death. So what if it’s on a pretend blog? We still know what it is. Worst Blog Ever.
