I don't know if Bloggers are any smarter than anyone else, but I think you're right -- we might be a little more critical than other journalists perhaps because our blogs are *our* space.

Yes, Edelman's fumbles have hurt the PR industry. They are the weakest link. Their tag line is "Pioneer Thinking". Dialing the Donner wagon train. Nice post.
