Read the Washington Post's coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings. Read Post writer Gene Weingarten's feature on a world-class violinist playing in the subway. Read New York Times reporters Walt Bogdanich and Jake Hooker's coverage of toxic ingredients in products imported from China. Read Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reporter Dave Umhoefer's investigation of Milwaukee County workers skirting tax rules.

Seriously, read them all. They're great, important pieces of journalism.

And then read Dan Steinberg's takedown of the comments that ESPN's Tony Kornheiser (who also writes for the Washington Post) made about this year's Pulitzer winners. The Post won six Pulitzers, and Kornheiser took the opportunity to remind anyone who will listen to him that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists do more significant work than bloggers.

What Kornheiser doesn't seem to realize is that he's demeaning the work of his colleagues by treating it as a cudgel with which to bludgeon bloggers. If there's a blogger who says his work is better or more important than that of the aforementioned Pulitzer winners, by all means, argue against him. But I don't think any blogger actually makes that argument. I think Kornheiser just enjoys, in Steinberg's words, winning arguments against nobody.
