Christian Kerr's memory loss

Christian Kerr in today's Australian.

Blogs attack newspapers all the time. It's rarer for a broadsheet to launch into an ezine. But that's what The Age has done to the Brisbane-based On Line Opinion.

Christian Kerr, The Australian, August 22, 2008.

The offenders here are discussion blogs. They would like to see themselves as the common rooms and salons of the online world. But they are intolerant and, worse, often incorrect.

Christian Kerr, The Australian, June 15, 2009.

Far, far too many of our political blogs are not just insular little communities. They have become Lord of the Flies islands online. Disagree with the group-think of the tribe and they will chase you over a cliff. In this environment there is not only no room for news, but no tolerance of new ideas.

He's a funny guy that Christian.
