The vast majority of blogs are rubbish.

Including my own.

From a balding man who is, frankly, no oil painting himself. I'm sure there's a mole there somewhere too..

on a blog then making an arse of yourself on the Tv and radio to a wider audience, the jug-eared numpty*

I suspect Mr Marr has an axe to grind within certain quarters of the blogosphere where great delight has been taken in cocking a snoot a his 'super injunction' to gag the press over his, er... Ugandan doings ;-)

I think he may be aiming his ire directly at certain high-profile political bloggers.

All good fun.

Andrew Marr was brighter than that.

I've only ever seen Andrew Marr on his history programmes and, while he undoubtedly writes excellent scripts, he is a dreadful presenter. Perhaps he should leave it to people that can do the job properly.

because he revealed the story about his private life that he has "gagged" the newspapers from telling by court injunction.
He's talking out of his hat. Obviously there are reams of rubbish on political, or any other, blogs, but, when you sort the wheat from the chaff, there's better political journalism being done on blogs than in the mainstream media. His cosy Sunday morning coffee morning is MSM political journalism at its feeblest.

there's a session from Super Injunction and tracks from the new Jug Eared Numpty album, g'night"

personally, I make a point of never posting sober

him wit the big ears? lol! whose he to tell us bloggers where just drunk men ranting at night. haha? i'll fuckin' knock him out. lol. your my besht mate you are. c'mere....

and thought it'd be about some of the noises I hear from my open windows while dropping off, as I live pretty much right in a town centre.

The only blogging I do is right here.

A significant amount of which is done late at night. When drink has been taken.

So according to this representative sample, Mr Marr is 100% correct.

I thought this was about Film 2010.

'...But the so-called citizen journalism is the spewings and rantings of very drunk people late at night.
"It is fantastic at times but it is not going to replace journalism."

Looked at in this light, particularly with respect to his praise of some citizen journalism, it gives it a different sheen of meaning. I think also that he was disussing specifically the political blogosphere which has a different set of factors to the music or arts spheres.
As someone who has been studying the political blogosphere closely for the last few years (admittedly in a narrow area of the Irish political blogs), I feel that the determinist claims of the blogosphere replacing the MSM really need to challenged on an evidential level as we have seen no real evidence of it thus far.
We have many, many blogs and many more bloggers but few with measurable success in influencing the agenda in the same way as the MSM. We have even fewer examples of the blogosphere gathering news and information in the manner of the MSM and I think that is what Marr is getting at.
Without the MSM as a catalyst for debate, the vast majority of the political blogosphere would cease to exist. Gathering news and views on an organised basis is generally something for organisations (in whatever form) and not for 'rightwingtrot56' hiding behind a nom de plume and spewing vitriol at something they have read in the MSM.
The Westminster blogosphere is a case in point - it really constitutes a powerful echo chamber in itself but which has no real measurable effect in real world of elections or civis politics. The vast majority of what passes for debate on Guido amounts to abuse and insinuations about the sexuality of various politicians rather than rational deliberation.
And, many of those commenting on it are reflecting on it without the legal or ethical constraints we place on journalists and news organisations. I think that Marr is right to point out that bloggers, or respondents to blogs, consistently behave in a much less mannered way than journalists. At least journalists put their name to something, for the most part.
On an evidential level, some cases made for the blogosphere should be challenged. Much was made about the role of blogs in the 2004 US election but again that has yet to be challenged and I think it should be.
The Tea Party experience, which perhaps is challenging the American political elite, only has its roots partially in the blogosphere. Arguably it is the involvement of Glen Beck and Fox News that has had the greater impetus in that movement.
And here is one thought: when the likes of Huff Po and Gawker etc learn to make similar profits to MSM, will they start to behave like MSM - buying up the opposition, working under the same institutional models as those which we have now? I think any studies of media business say that this is inevitable. And anyway, where is the blogosphere making a similar inroad in British political life - it is dominated by the fora of newspapers and broadcast outlets.
I think there is always going to citizen journalism because a study of polemical pamphlet culture, periodical culture and fanzine culture tells us something always springs up to fill the gap for those left behind by or not represented by the mass market - but they rarely, if ever, become the mainstream.
We should be grateful for some of the blogosphere, but much more critical of the power that many people ascribe to it.
And here endeth the sermon... what no-one's listening?

Citizen journalism? Bollocks. It's called gobshite from where I'm standing. Learn the English language, go to college and learn how to write an essay, and how to spell words correctly, then come back and see me. Working class northern monkeys not allowed.

There's a hot breaking story on Guido- someone says William Hague is a 'deffo a knob jockey' - have to follow it up and get some react quotes. Apparently the esteemed commentator 'Thatcherforever79' knows someone who said his cousin knows he is a 'straight-up chutney ferret'.
I think you'll agree that both these insightful and erudite quotes are a clear challenge to his legitimacy to hold public office.

when he began his speech to the House with the phrase, "Well hello, honkytonks"

it was only after the well documented acrimonious split in Evening Benders - due in no small part to bitter philosophical differences in what the Big Society meant to the band's music, that Colour Me Daft eventually emerged with their blend of free market sloganising and death metal English folk.
