We (bloggers) often make the mistake of identifying one journalists's attitude with that of the ENTIRE MSM's -- and that's just not true, so let's not get excited about how MSM feels threatened by us. Even one publication's antipathy towards blogging does not prove that MSM as a whole is dismissive about or feels threatened by blogging. Most of the time, it's an individual response. As for Outlook, I suspect Vinod Mehta is hugely amused by this debate and is indulgently letting T R Vivek fight it out with bloggers. <BR/><BR/>(Cross-posted on my blog)The Marauder's Maphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691114757718617846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13242432.post-1135869244827701772005-12-29T20:44:00.000+05:302005-12-29T20:44:00.000+05:30I hope Vivek will reply my open letter to him.I hope Vivek will reply my <A HREF="http://wethemedia.blogspot.com/2005/12/dear-tr.html" REL="nofollow">open letter</A> to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13242432.post-1135790141099369892005-12-28T22:45:00.000+05:302005-12-28T22:45:00.000+05:30I think these people are feeling insecure (lol...)...I think these people are feeling insecure (lol...)especially Mr.TRV.<BR/>Bloggers are the competitors now?? :)Goes to show their ignorance more than anything else.Drops of Oceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732070437726762831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13242432.post-1135778050078522012005-12-28T19:24:00.000+05:302005-12-28T19:24:00.000+05:30Indian MSM can afford to take such potshots at blo...Indian MSM can afford to take such potshots at bloggers, because unlike in the US, we are still a minority and are neither movers nor shakers.

Either he is plain stupid or just feigning ignorance. Third, he belongs to a community of critics who just to like to argue for the heck of it and have nothing worthwhile to contribute, hence they spend their time writing stuff off the top of thier hats.

The cafetaria food's reasonably good, and the lawns are fun to walk around in, but I'd never think of it being the launching pad of a publishing career. <BR/><BR/>Now you're going to tell me Vikram Seth got published by hanging out with the old fogeys of IIC?
