In a 3700-word article about the blogging
phenomenon, Matt Welch uses his first
660 words to castigate AAN members,
calling them "conformist," politically correct and
"politically monochromatic." According to Welch, he
attended AAN West in February and learned that
alternative newspapers and the people
who work for them are all "the same,"
which led him to question whether they still deserve
to be called "alternative."
