My young and impetuous colleague Chris Baldwin shows once again that his logic is receding as fast as his hairline. Baldwin takes me and the Rebel Blogger to task for pointing out how gutless many travel writers are.
Blame the editors, Baldwin rants, with a pass-the-buck mentality all too typical of his misguided and hedonistic generation. He sounds like the head of the SATW who told me personally he thinks the editors should be blamed. Has the word “accountability” disappeared from the English language?
Chris, Chris, Chris. It isn’t the editors who are taking all these exotic trips – it’s the writers. The editors are poor schlumps sitting at their desks dreaming of going to these places the writers do.
It’s like blaming the extermination of the Jews on Hitler’s lieutenants. Well, that’s an extreme analogy, but you get the picture. Hmmmm, guess we’re going to have to go back and check Baldwin’s byline file.
