I was as discouraged by the one-sided, inaccurate, and biased story on blogs produced by Forbes as anybody else. The article, titled “Attack of the Blogs,” paints bloggers as ???the prized platform of an online lynch mob spouting liberty but spewing lies, libel and invective.??? (The article is available online only to Forbes subscribers.)

Funny, right after reading the piece, I read this and followed through to the blog in question. (Be sure to scroll through the comments.)

Of course, this atrocious post does not make the Forbes article correct or accurate; it remains one of the worst pieces of journalism I’ve read in years. But we do need to keep some perspective. With over 20 million blogs, some of them are bound to be penned by jerks and morons who will use the platform to spew lies, libel, and invective.
