Honestly, BoingBoing has devoted itself to misleading-hype summaries of other people's content in almost the same manner as Huffington Post.

I'll still give Doctorow credit for emphasizing the right topics, like media accountability and a cooperative browsing experience. But his personal output is hardly consistent with those positions...

I agree re giving him credit and I’m certainly a fan. It’s a hard topic to publish about on the web because that type or article could very easily be a plain static HTML page with no JavaScript on a personal server but obviously he’s a professional writer and probably sold to that site to get paid (fair enough) and the site gets that money from ads so circle of life but still dissonant to take the message to heart in that context.
