Let the journalists take a year off--let Wonkette do the heavy lifting

This via Poynter.org , Michael Lenehan exec editor of the Chicago Reader:

"proposes a yearlong journalism strike. "I am urging reporters and editors around the world to put down their notebooks, close their laptops, hang up their phones.

Lie down and be counted! Let’s have no reporting, no editing, no application of any human intelligence whatsoever to events public or private till January 1, 2007. I’m calling it the Year Without Journalism.

Let’s all relax, let go, and float blissfully in the information-free state (excuse me, I mean free-information state) that our public awaits so eagerly. ...

Let’s see if Wonkette can deal with the devious bastards in the executive branch any better than Judith Miller did."
