Reporters are lemmings?

From the Marketing Blog, a PR guy openly states his contempt for us journos on his Facebook page.

A big middle finger to PR

Chris Anderson, EiC of Wired, just blacklisted a large number of PR email addresses for sending him crap. Then he posted all those addresses on his blog.

Zing!

"I've had it. I get more than 300 emails a day and my problem isn't spam (Cloudmark Desktop solves that nicely), it's PR people. Lazy flacks send press releases to the Editor in Chief of Wired because they can't be bothered to find out who on my staff, if anyone, might actually be interested in what they're pitching. Fact: I am an actual person, not a team assigned to read press releases and distribute them to the right editors and writers."
