vamp attack! chick scolds lazy hacks!
Julia Allison, the editor at large for a magazine called
Star,
has issued a bold treatise in support of the work of
Rachel Sklar, the
Huffington Post media critic. "Rachel
calls out the media on their hypocrisy in a FAIR way, which, it might be noted, is a quality many journalists today
sadly lack," Allison writes. "They seem to think that in order to be critical, they have to be bitchy/snarky/cruel or—on the other extreme—they don't analyze critically at all, instead choosing to come down predictably (lazily!) with a
hackneyed throw-away blurb and maybe an ad-hom attack, just to spice things up. It's nice to see a writer
really THINKING about the issues about which she writes.
You can tell she's a lawyer by training."
