Uber-blogger Michelle Malkin skewers Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman for her column last week (“E-male”) alleging male hegemony in the blogosphere. Michelle asked for a copy of a spreadsheet Goodman cited in the column and was put on hold via email: I’m on vacation but if you remind me after labor day, I’ll see if she wants me to pass along her name, etc…cheers
Says Michelle:
The results of the spreadsheet are good enough to publicize in her column, but we’re not able to look at the data ourselves until Ellen Goodman is good and ready to share what she has seen and cited….Typical MSM gatekeeper arrogance.
Quite correct, Michelle, but you are a very disrespectful and ungrateful person for daring to question the veracity of facts reported on the Globe Op Ed page. As a person of minority (and a woman, too!) you should show more respect for liberal media arrogance.

But for the fact that Malkin is part of a shreik box of Internet group think, (phrase from Andrew Sullivan) she could be part of the so-called MSM. I don't think that Krauthammer, Will, and Brooks are so fringy.
But hey Fox News is only the most watched cable news outlet in the country so why the self pity. Malkin is surely a bigger name than Goodman.
More ad femininems from Bill O'Ramon. And Ellen takes a vacation rather than respond - must be staying in the Beauchamp Suite at the Club New Republic.
