"One wonders whether the Internet, blogging, Twitter, texting and
microblogging ... have made participatory democracy and autocracy so
participatory, and leaders so finely attuned to every nuance of public
opinion, that they find it hard to make any big decision that requires
sacrifice. They have too many voices in their heads other than their
own."

"I don't want to see us descend into a nation of bloggers. I think we need editorial oversight now more than ever. Anything we can do to help newspapers find new ways of expression that will help them get paid, I am all for."
