More Pitchfork bullshit
Pitchfork further discredits their already tired, one-trick, screedy site with this horrendous excuse for journalism, "The 'Real Story' of Podcasting."
Among its many offenses, the most egregious is perhaps that less than half the article actually discusses podcasting, and apparently the "real story" behind it is that it's done over the internet. How you get through a story about podcasting without mentioning an iPod is beyond me, but maybe Chris Dahlen's journalism degree comes from a better school than mine did. At such a presumably fancy school, one might also assume that they taught him that writing an entire story based on a single source is lazy, and usually considered unacceptable by editors. (It could, I suppose, also be considered an interview, but the story is not presented as such.) Shit, I once covered a city council meeting drunk off my arse and still managed to get three interviews.
But then again, I'm just a blogger, peddling "unproven information." Dahlen must've forgotten to put in the links "proving" that we and/or the White House dismisses objective journalism and facts.
Lame, lame, lame.
