The Independent Columnist Janet Street Porter Is

SAYS Janet Street Porter:

Blogs are surely the musings of the socially inept, those people you sidle away from at parties after a couple of stabs at conversation. They are the product of the internet that has given a “voice” to millions of people who have nothing to say apart from the fact that their pet has just exited via the cat flap and the baby has soiled another nappy. Thousands of hackneyed opinions about books on Amazon written by people who can’t use a three syllable word. Endless reviews of films tapped out by couch potatoes who’ve never experienced any culture other than the one within their suburban front room.

Rather:

 Columns in The Independent are surely the musings of the socially inept, those people you sidle away from at parties after a couple of stabs at conversation. They are the product of the system that has given a “voice” to people who have nothing to say apart from the fact that we’re all doomed, it’s capitalism’s fault and by the way, I met someone famous recently. Thousands of hackneyed opinions about books, politics, the environment and society written by people who can’t use a logical argument or recognise a fact. Endless reviews of this and that tapped out by idiotarians who’ve never experienced any culture other than the one within their own heads.
