“An independent blogger’s greatest asset, besides wit, energy, bravery, and doggedness, is sincerity. We read them to hear a credible independent voice — not the shills of a corporation, lobbying group, a government agency, or a party. But now it seems that every auto company, PR firm, and politician is taking up blogging — to sell us the same old pitches in a sleek new package. ”
