Drew Clark of National Journal's Technology Today on Democratic Blogger Canned Over Criticism (stupid ass registration required):
The authors of the online diaries known as Web logs, or "blogs," are known for their fierce independence — but one was so true to that tradition that he quickly lost his slot on the official blog of the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) this week because of a critical comment on an unrelated group blog.
The deleted blogger, Matt Stoller, was the "blog community coordinator" for the DNCC, which organized the convention here. On Monday, opening day, he critiqued convention keynote speaker Barack Obama by unfavorably comparing him with Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, the Democratic candidate for vice president.
Oh, the melodramatic melodious melodrama of it all. (Yawn)
