A newspaper's blogger's apology for silence gets debate on newspapers, politics going

Andrew Heller, a Flint Journal columnist who now blogs a lot, recently apologized to his online readers for being more quiet then usual. The reaction was unexpected.

"Well, it's nice to see I can launch an entire media/politics discussion with a mere apology."

The responses were all over the map, with many focusing on why people don't read newspapers. Blaming lifestyle, the liberal bias of newspapers, and oh so much more.
