Older but Wiser (Us vs. Them, Part II)
By the time the Times has their article, it will all be old news.
But it might be smarter and more objective, and it'll be forthright about its conflicts of interest. Going by this, the main value-add in blogged news is its time to market and nothing else. I often find myself reading news online and then looking forward to the more in-depth take in the Times the next day. This could just stem from the perennial Kaliforn-YUH belief that shiny superficial New! is just the total bitchin' best, lack of substance be damned.
