Thursday Quiz: Paper of Record? Or Loser Blogger?
Everyday we hear about blogs and mainstream media hating each other, loving each other, fighting to the death, performing CPR, cleaning up the mess, and then going out for Tofutti together. Sunrise, sunset, turn, turn, turn, the circle of life, blah, blah, blah.
But can you, the reader, tell the difference between the work of a trained, respected writer for, let's say, The New York Times and that of a sleep-deprived, possibly unstable blogger, let's say our own sister/brother site, Wonkette?
Here's your chance to find out. Guess which headline came from today's online edition of The Times and which came from Wonkette:
Bush Presses Putin...
Bush Presses Putin...
Answer after the jump.
1. Bush Presses Putin on Rollback of Reforms, The New York Times, by Elisabeth Bumiller and Maria Newman.
2. Bush Presses Putin: I Said Yes My Love Yes, Wonkette, by guest editor Choire Sicha.
See, not so different. Now, who wants some Tofutti?
