Responding To "Pseudo Media Blogs"

Constellation Battles the Blogosphere, Space News

“Hanley said in an interviewhe normally does not respond so directly to what he characterized as misinformation that appearsin “the pseudo media-blogs and so forth.” But the NASA Watch post spurred him to action. Hanley sent his e-mail, he said, to “a few dozen Constellation leaders throughout the program” – a long enough distribution list, it would seem, to ensure the message leaked to an even wider audience.”

Editor’s note: Jeff Hanley went to great lengths to make certain that I got his email. The way he did so (I have the original distribution list) makes me wonder why he was so eager to use other people to get his thoughts to me – but not do so himself – either directly – or through PAO. Moreover, if Hanley holds PAO- accredited news sources such as NASA Watch in such distain, one wonders why he’d even bother to reply in the first place. Just one of life’s little mysteries, I suppose.
