"What's the difference between a blogger and just a columnist in a newspaper?" Lib Dem blogger Alex Wilcock was asked by an (old media) interviewer this week.
He replied, he says: "They get paid for it, they have to bloat or squeeze their arguments to fill a word count rather than as the ideas demand, they have to stick to their newspaper's editorial line, and they're much more up themselves."
They have also, I might add, been rather more critical of Sir Menzies Campbell's speech than Lib Dem bloggers were - to judge by the initial reactions of both parties.
