Is The Style Section Just Like A Blog?

We’ve gotten lots of feedback from readers criticizing such recent Style section front-page articles as Wingman to Virginity to Hey! Politicians Make Secret Trips!

And today’s article “The Crushed Crush: A Fan Comes to Grips With Lance’s Coming Out” has only given the Style-haters more fodder.

Writes in one reader:

It’s like a personal blog, but on paper. I’m so glad to see that the Washington Post will allow anyone to humiliate themselves on the front section of the newspaper. In a not-so-valiant attempt to regain lost pop-culture ground as a result of lame articles such as the “Wingman”, the paper is apparently now allowing anyone to express whatever rambling, idiot sentiment they wish about random news items that only – at best – deserve a brief.
