In the world of journalism, the personal Web site ("blog") was hailed as the killer of the traditional media. In fact it has become hailed as the killer of the traditional media.

Camille Paglia quote: "Art is something out of the ordinary commenting on the ordinary."
Art is something out of the ordinary commenting on the ordinary. Camille Paglia
The commentator may be excused for repeating what he has stressed in his own books and lectures, namely that "offensive" is frequently but a synonym for "unusual;" and a great work of art is of course always original, and thus by its very nature should come more or less as a shocking surprise.

Joseph Mitchell
Mr. Weasley was unavailable for comment, although his wife told reporters to clear off or she'd set the family ghoul on them. J. K. Rowling
I did not ask for objections, but for comments, or helpful suggestions. I looked for more loyalty from you, Captain Hornblower.'That made the whole argument pointless. If Leighton only wanted servile agreement there was no sense in continuing... C. S. Forester
This couple, so involved with babies, had never reproduced themselves, though they could have. This was an interesting comment on the whole idea of reproduction. Kurt Vonnegut
Unlike white commentators, who were hamstrung by the fear that they would be labeled racist, I could voice my criticisms of the feudal, religious, and repressive mechanisms that were holding back women from Muslim communities. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
There are books in which the footnotes, or the comments scrawled by some reader's hand in the margin, are more interesting than the text. The world is one of those books. George Santayana
George Eliot quote: "three cuttle-fish sable, and a commentator rampant."
three cuttle-fish sable, and a commentator rampant. George Eliot
First spouses, I have learned, don't ever really go away--even if you aren't speaking to them anymore. They are phantoms who dwell in the corners of our new love stories, never entirely vanishing from sight, materializing in our minds whenever they please, offering up unwelcome comments or bits of painfully accurate criticism. Elizabeth Gilbert
He's a moody creature, isn't he?" she said to the bird. Auntie Em gave one impatient squawk, the extent of her vocabulary."Sounds like she got up on the wrong side of the perch," Alan commented."Oh, no. She's in a good mood if she says anything. Nora Roberts
