      6. Niggling aspects: does @JesseBrown make mistakes & sometimes get things wrong? Sure. But who doesn't? That's not serious objection.

      7. Substantive critique: @JesseBrown is trying to combine 3 contrary models: Gawker, NY Times, and Daily Show.

      8. One problem here is that @simonhoupt automatically assumes that Gawker is dismissable as "gossip and innuendo"

      9. Who broke the Rob Ford crack video story? It wasn't the Globe and Mail. It was Gawker.

      10. This Gawker essay is better cultural criticism than anything Globe & Mail has published in 140 years: http://gawker.com/on-smarm-1476594977 …

      11. Lots of things in Gawker I don't like, just like I don't like Wente's plagiarism, rape culture apologism, and climate denial.

      12. Daily Show is not hard news, but they are like an op-ed page (with editorial cartoons). Better op-ed page than the Globe, I'd say.

      13. Standing behind @simonhoupt column is distinction between respectable, objective media (Times, Globe) and entertainment ne'er-do-wells.

      15. A little bit of journalism history might be helpful. Idea of respectable, objective media is a fairly recent invention.

      17. So to resume: underlying the Houpt/Brown tiff is the self-conception of the Globe as the arbiter of respectable objective journalism.

          18. Objectivity is a late-born invention in journalism. 19th century papers weren't objective but partisan (Globe=Liberals) or entertainment

          19. The entertainment model of journalism (Hearst, Pulitzer, yellow press) caused upper-middle class panic: plebes were getting uppity.

          @HeerJeet The Globe (and traditional journalists like Houpt) are desperate to stay relevant. This piece makes it all too obvious.
