You know that you live in interesting times when:

  1. A bunch of cats and dogs speaking silly English gets more traction on a regular basis than the political blog of a mainstream television network on Wordpress.com
  2. The most read story on latimes.com is about a transsexual sportswriter coming out in the publication that he she writes for.
  3. OJR's "Five lessons from 2007" amount to pretty much no lesson at all. Seriously, if getting a breaking news blog, copying sports style and trying to dig the facts out is all that it would take to 'fix' media in 2008, I am at a loss for what can be said about the situation.
