Finally, a Forum For People Who Can't Produce An Entire Letter to the Editor

Demonstrating once again the old "anything new media can do I can do better" spirit, theNew York Timesgave restaurant critic Frank Bruni a blog . And, because they want to get back on Jay Rosen's good side , they have comments. Comments which have already proved their value as a means of "extending the conversation" or whatever the hell blogs are supposed to do. To wit :

Dear Mr. Bruni,

I find it valuable that you were reporting from the White House.

Are they canibals? Being now a restaurant critic you could throw some lite also on the background of policy making.

Come on. "Cannibals" is unfair. While this administration may hunt Man , it's purely for the sport.
