The Irony Was Too Rich To Pass Up

Failed journalism student engages in ad hominem attacks on dude who wrote a book about how failed journalists think ad hominem attack pieces are actually journalism. Let's see, we've got:

1) obligatory, dated "zombies" reference
2) desire to "remix" book (read: treat as a mad-lib) instead of actually address anything in it
3) a disparaging remark about Keen's former business being a failure, which is hilarious when one considers Jardin's complete lack of any credentials in any field
4) a plug for herself, buried at the end of the piece
5) more boingboing backrubs for "Clay Shirky", whoever the hell he is supposed to be.


Really, though, it can all be summarized by this quote:
The core premise of Keen's book seems to be that conversational media is destroying culture, ruining the economy, and destroying the lives of "experts."

Heh, "experts" in quotes and "conversational media" from a blowhard who doesn't have the cajones to allow comments and deal with the frigtards you're so dedicated to preserving the wisdom and free speech of. I'm really not sure what's the funniest part of that.
