Good Citizen Journalism

A piece in the Grauniad’s CiF about things like… er… well… CiF and suchlike.

My comment:

But, after a while, when reading sites like CiF you come to realise that the bit written by the professional journalist at the top is usually the bit you skip because all the real action is in the comments. Especially when you know that some of the people in the comments know far more about the subject than the person writing the article, for example Polly Toynbee's shaky grasp of economics compared to the knowledge demonstrated by Tim Worstall et al.
