He means tech bloggers.
“…Welcome to the Silicon Valley cesspool” he [Dan Lyons, above, technology editor of Newsweek and The Daily Beast] wrote on his personal blog this month. It was illustrated with pictures of Michael Arrington, the founder of the TechCrunch blog, and MG Siegler, a longtime friend of Arrington’s, who still writes for TechCrunch, both offering an Adele-style finger to the camera; the post suggested that the duo are doing much the same to the idea that journalism should be independent, reliable and open.

When Terry Prone quotes George Orwell.
In very recent days, dirge-delivery has begun to ebb. Matt Cooper, for example, is now hosting a weekly discussion with Maureen Gaffney on how to flourish as a human being rather than get locked into the whinge-box.

Dr Franz Ingelfinger pointed out 30 years ago that 85% of all ailments are self-limiting. Including dismay. In other words, we can get used to anything, even diminished expectations, and after a period of time, we get fed up admiring the wreckage. George Orwell, commenting on the austerity years after the Second World War, put his finger on it. “Everyone wants, above all things, a rest,” he said.
