Meet the Pipsqueaks
In alpha order (this may be the only time you see yours truly on the far left of anything :–>):
Engine starter: Cleveland PD Reader Rep wants to charge for content in first 24 hours; calls bloggers “a bunch of pipsqueaks out there talking about what real journalists do” (at 10:00 mark of video at link; HT The Future of Journalism).
More at 11 1 a.m. — Post is here.
In the meantime, enjoy this stirring, somewhat discofied rendition of “Midnight Train to Georgia” by Gladys Knight & the Pips (not Pipsqueaks):
Interim questions: Who did the original work that led to this Plain Dealer story? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Oh! I know! Pick me, pick me!!!

Okay – this post made me laugh.
I finally watched the clip today. I honestly don’t know what to say – that’s printable anyway.

Even though I’m one, its not really unfair to call bloggers pipsqueaks. Its fun to laugh at older reporters who despise the internet, but Jill sounds truly angry- When she might be the Queen Pipsqueaker.

#3, oh stop it. This is my fun post.
There’s another one I just put up. It’s not angry, more like disgusted, but the post did bring back some unprintable thoughts that occurred at the time.
