People are very... passionate about blogging related topics. I do celebrate passion and advocacy! Like you though I dislike when it is done under the guise of journalism. What really impresses me about Brice is how he is shaping CMSWire into a journalistic offering -- a site telling all sides of CMS news stories. That is the type of site that I'm likely to go to for news. Aside, not that it is essential to the conversation, but it wasn't only the absense of WordPress coverage that I protested.

Didn't intend to come across attacking. I suppose if you're proficient with WP, you're going to want to promote it and see it covered thoroughly. Your article indicated that you criticized Brice for not covering WordPress enough, but I find bias on both sides of the aisle. Thanks for your reply Lloyd. Didn’t intend to come across attacking.

I'm not passionate or knowledgeable about most aspects of Movable Type, so I won't be a good person to point out bias of The Blog Herald -- and to be honest, I seldom read articles on that site. It's interesting you mention this in the more general context, because I was recently thinking about how powerful a brand is, a title it, and how people use/abuse them, and how it relates to speaking in the language our audience understands. Specifically what made me think of this was <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/scoble-broke-our-trust-and-the-law-by-sharing-our-personal-data/" rel="nofollow">Dennis Howlett and Thomas Otter's crude arguments</a> that Robert Scoble is a criminal. Near the end of <a href="http://theotherthomasotter.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/facebook-scoble-manifestos-and-european-privacy-law/" rel="nofollow">Thomas's original post</a> it reads, "I’m glad to see blawgs joining the discussion, for instance <a href="http://www.privacylawyer.ca/blog/2008/01/facebook-prevents-scraping-of-profiles.html" rel="nofollow">the Canadian Privacy Law Blog</a>" A name like "the Canadian Privacy Law Blog" sounds collaborative and authorative to me, but when I went there, the blog makes it clear that it is a single lawyer David T.S. Fraser's blog. Don't get me wrong David T.S. Fraser blog might be very good, but the title through me off. Thanks for the comment Jesse, but I’m not quick following your argument.

I guess my point is, if you're a fan of WordPress, that's fine. I'm a fan of Movable Type. Just don't present it as a move to eliminate unjust and biased reviews. Hey Lloyd,

I have found Drupal better for true CMS projects, but Wordpress is a good middle ground for most user requirements. It's interesting to see the dominance of Wordpress though. I think this is simply that it is a better product than many other offerings out there. Even perhaps some pay for solutions. Wordpress is a great blogging platform.
