Well the saga continues. After Forbes Dan Lyons did a cover story likening bloggers to a lynch mob, all 20 million of us met secretly last week in my backyard. We were ready to string him up, but no one remembered to bring any rope, so I published an open letter to Lyons. A day earlier, Steve Rubel had suggested Dan read Naked Conversations so that topically, he could learn the difference between an elbow and a buttock.
Next, podcaster John Furrier, who interviewed Forbes publisher Steve Forbes for a podcast coming out on Monday got the flat tax advocate who would be president to issue a truly lame letter claiming the cover story was balanced.
Concerned that such masters of mainstream media should indeed learn the truth about the topic, my Wiley Editor Jim Minatel has FedExed a copy of Naked Conversations to Steve Forbes.
Steve, when you're done with it , please pass it on to Dan.
