Another newspaper blog

Looks as if the Daily News and its sister papers have quietly launched Hollywood Babble On, "where our film, music, TV and Hollywood critics dish out their latest thoughts!" I say quietly because there's no evidence of it (now I see a link) on the Daily News web page, and on the entertainment page it's not yet listed with the paper's earlier On the Red Carpet blog. The first item went up Friday; the last, on Sunday, was a take on President Bush's comments about U.S. journalists in Iraq by television critic David Kronke. The blog is art and graphics-free, and is so plain-wrap with zero links or value-added personality that I have to think it's a premature release. So far Kronke and Valerie Kuklenski have posted all the entries.
