The article RFK Jr. is more than a "hit parade of theories swirling about the blogosphere". After reading Mr. Manjoo's article, I was surprised to see the list of references at the end of RFK's article. With the references listed, and pieced together as such, RFK's article was more of a research piece than an opinion piece as Manjoo has implied.
The piece should have been treated with more respect, because this is a very important topic, and the Rolling Stone article was actually very analytical.
Here are some possible suggestions for Salon.
Manjoo is apparently working on his resume to go to FoxNews after Salon is gone. With this bit of dismissiveness, he could go work there now. Salon has better writers writing letters.
I dont think this is a place to out fox Fox. If it were, this is how it would be done:
He's more content to take us through a hit parade of the most popular, and the most dismissible, theories purporting to show that John Kerry won Ohio, theories that have been swirling about the blogosphere ever since the race was called. I scoured his Rolling Stone article for some novel story or statistic or theory that would prove, finally, that George W. Bush was not the true victor. But nothing here is new.
