White House Liveblogging Could Destroy Blogging Forever
Oh, dear god: The Obama White House is liveblogging itself. What's the point of liveblogging this stuff ourselves when we can just read this stuff in our pajamas?
Whitehouse.gov bloggers are a little slow on the draw. The Washington Post beat them by 15 minutes and posted a more complete transcript of the Q&A session at President Obama's Ft. Myers, Fla. town-hall meeting. (As for us: Pareene's off today.) But they have the chatty tone and completely obvious bias of most political bloggers down cold! Plus they did it reverse chronological order, just like a real liveblog.
