FLASHPOINT:

Putting a blogger in his place

Do you read Tom Mitchell’s blog? I didn’t think so. Do you know who Tom Mitchell is? I didn’t think so. Let me help. Mitchell is the Internet-unsavvy guy who posted a video of himself poorly lip-syncing a song. It was sad, yet somehow poignant. Now, Mitchell has twice posted video of The Greenspun Corporation’s cyberguru Rob Curley, trying to pillory the Sun for Curley’s assertion that reporters go on sales calls. Except that’s not what Curley says, as Drex Heikes, a Sun editor, pointed out in a hilarious riposte on Mitchell’s site. And as others have pointed out, Mitchell’s hypocrisy considering his organization’s cozy relationship with sources and business folks is all too obvious. By the way, he is the “editor” of the R-J.
