Not sure if you saw it, but Todd Bishop did a follow-up interview with Kessler on TechFlash where she offered more of her rationale. Many of our readers -- who happened on the news on a "blog" -- offered similar arguments to yours. http://bit.ly/LUBof John Cook Ben,

Great post. Not sure if you saw it, but Todd Bishop did a follow-up interview with Kessler on TechFlash where she offered more of her rationale.

Many of our readers — who happened on the news on a “blog” — offered similar arguments to yours.

Several of us "independent media outlets with ... strong editorial voices" here in Seattle are discussing appropriate response. Irony for me, just hours after I heard about this, I was out covering the monthly gathering of our area's largest political group, which was hearing legislative wrapups from the local reps and senator. No other journalists in sight, of course, none of that subsidized "actual newspaper reporting" stuff. Hey, thanks for weighing in on this one.
