Interestingly, you have *more* credibility than a run-of-the-mill
journalist because you're on a soapbox grinding your private axe. It's
easy to understand your bias and to judge your words accordingly.
With typical journalists, you never know whether what they write is their
voice, the voice of their editor, publisher, or advertisers.
And no, many of these companies whining about you don't display any
tolerance for print journalism--there's always a strong current of
censorship running through the press, only it's done in the back room by
PR flacks.
So rant on!
