On The Intolerable Evolution of Poynter's "Romenesko+"
The best part of the stupid thing that stupid lady wrote, is that Romenesko's sentence would start, "The paper said," and then go on to say the things the paper said. She bolded them all as "not properly attributed."

Not to hijack your comment thread, Natasha, but if anyone's up for it, I have a story today on protesting the Occupy LA protesters protesting the president. http://fourstory.org/features/story/protesting-the-protesters-protesting-the-president

@deepomega What I can't stand is the Green-meeting-style agendas that last for days until unanimity is reached. Have you ever BEEN to a Green meeting? Sweet Jesus.

Great story, Natasha. I just finished reading the bitchen new Emma Goldman bio, and it sort of crystalised for me why I haven't been there at Occupy LA: I've become the sort of "liberal intelligentsia" that Goldman loathed, since I actually still love the "bought and paid for" Obama instead of considering him a capitalist tool. Faced with real anarchists, the kind Goldman would have LOVED, I just feel old, stodgy, and centrist, and it embarrasses me. Also: so many Ron Paullers!

@awlsome You were Mid-City, no question? (Maybe some question.)

@kenlayne Layne, they're tearing the LaBrea Jon's down for condos. I am full of sad.

Boy are your East Coasters not going to care about this one! But I live less than a mile down Highland from your confusing Brookside sign. I walk there frequently, for cigarettes and beer from the kindliest 7-11 lady in the history of 7-11s. My neighborhood is variously "mid-city," "mid-Wilshire," "Miracle Mile," "Koreatown-adjacent," "Hancock Park-adjacent," or "Longwood Highlands." (That's what's on the sign, but nobody has ever heard of it, including me.)

One of the things she bolded WAS a block quote, preceded by "The paper reports:" with a colon and everything.
