Beyond the fact that I am disappointed we didn't catch that bit of vandalism when it happened, I have to admit that I find it hilarious that it was the Star that got caught with its pants down. One of their biggest name sportswriters is a prominent anti-blogger zealot whose entire argument is based on the concept that the mainstream media is reliable, while everyone else is not.
