post at MBA

Hi Sidney,
I agree that what you quote is disconcerting. I went to the mediabloggers.org site, and found it in their "MBA in the news" section.

It looks like they just quote directly from any news stories. So.. while they aren't agreeing necessarily, and those may be posted by an intern, they also aren't writing a post and disagreeing.

I think they seem a bit too into their own power and self aggrandizement, even as I appreciate the work Liza and others have said the MBA has done for her and others.

Posting those news quotes that are wrong is more self promotion and it doesn't sit well with me.

Liza,
Would you mind finding out why they aren't refuting these stories they are quoting from on their blog's news area?

Thanks,
mary
