OSM: A FAILED ATTEMPT TO CREATE A MONOPOLY

Pajamas: a failed attempt to corner the blogosphere and steal all the ad dollars?

Responding to fifteen (and counting) emails reacting to what many feel is my blanket smear of the bloggers on Pajamas (HERE and then HERE TOO). Malkin is great, as is Charles Johnson, and many many others, most of whom I don't read. I have overall contempt for Reynolds--his sycophants get links, those that criticize get bupkis and he surfs comments sections and blacklists those who comment negatively about him----Simon is just a pretend conservative, meaning he is a Hollywood Lefty who supports the war in Iraq because he is Jewish and sees Iraq in terrorist hands as a threat to Israel, AND he censors his comments to weed out comments that are not "responsible"---these are two of the main players in what I think is an attempt to corner the blogosphere and steal all the ad dollars. What other purpose could there possibly have been? Think about it. How many bloggers? Fifty? Seventy? All under a single banner. No, the business plan, shared only with the elite bloggers (co-conspirators??) was to create a monopoly, a creature so large that it would dominate the blogosphere and create an unrivaled advertising magnet. An "I've got mine so fuck you" project.

I do question the judgement of all people, bloggers and reporters, who joined in this effort to create an advertising goliath whose sole purpose was to suck up all the ad dollars available and leave the rest of us with nothing in our hands but our dicks (or vaginas). So on that basis, and that basis alone, we should all be glad that this thing crashed and burned.

Late add: Sondrak linked to this stuff, a Chairman Mao self flagellation revolving around problems with their logo, the appearance, etc., and all you have to do is read it to realize what a collection of assholes they are way down deep. "The problem" just happens to be that the site stinks and dopes like Brice aren't going to cure it by commenting from her "feminist perspective." Brice, who is a nothing, tries to explain. Let me explain to you, Briceepoo. You have an audience because you are a lesbian, a feminist (?), a woman; you were clever enough to wrap this unappealing package in clever paper that claims you are really a Conservative and conservatives are so stupid that they actually think this makes you an intellectual, Face it folks, she is an airhead who latched onto the conservative label because it was convenient; because the feminists got tired of her; because the last idea she had stood her up at the Gay and Lesbian Center. A guy like Reynolds, who has as plain a looking site as is possible to have, says the problem is the logo and appearance. Oh well......
