Boy oh boy, does Aaron Sorkin sure hate us bloggers

January

In his latest defense of “Studio 60” the Scarsdale native complained to journalists that blogs and message boards have unfairly attacked his show. And furthermore, he asserts, if they aren’t credentialed, why listen? He continues:

“I do believe we’ve seen an enormous rise of amateurism. The thing I find troubling about the Internet, as great a resource tool as it is, great for communications as it is, and that everybody has a voice—the thing is, everybody’s voice oughtn’t be equal.”

Ouch! If you’d prefer to get slaughtered by old fashioned newspapers, like the Star Ledger, which had the story this quote was pulled from—or the LA Times, with their “Comedy Writers Aren’t Laughing About ‘Studio 60’” article from earlier this month—fine by me. And hey, if it’s any consolation, I promise to put Paul Haggis’s new show, “The Black Donnellys,” under the microscope, too—when it takes over your time slot this March.
