Science Bloggers Blast Science Reporting Without Expanding Knowledge
...the typical blog mode is to find an individual piece of science reporting with some particular failing and blast it—without addressing or even raising the broader issue of what's really going on in the media industry. One science logger. University of Toronto biochemist Larry Moran, even put it this way in a discussion of the widespread job losses facing science reporters: "Science journalists h have let us down. I say good riddance."
