These blogs and journals only have as much authority on subjects as the audience gives them. If they don't like it, don't read it, who gives a shit if brew blog has an exclusive with the miller brewmaster who created Miller Chill?! </p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/29/when_beer_compa.php#comment-1350411 http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/29/when_beer_compa.php#comment-1350411 Comments Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:51:52 -0600 <p>Andorfer also has been know to take some shots at Miller, as the article says (I read it in print when it appeared). Perhaps he offers more praise than criticism, but there has been criticism--which, from Miller's point of view, likely would be desirable, as criticism of the sponsoring company would give the blog credibility. I find the Fox News analogy strained, and I am no fan of Ailes or the news operation he runs, which engages too often in rank propaganda. Perhaps some better models are sponsored news feeds from companies or corporate/marketing newsletters. </p>
