Unless you have read a CRITIC's opinions for a year or so, until you learn their biases, what can you learn from them at all?

Like an editorial writer, you do not just pick up a publication, read an OPINION piece, and think THERE IS THE TRUTH!

Without familiarity with the critic, his writings are useless and the reader STUPID to think they have learned anything from the article.

We should want the critic to show his bias, that is how a critic is HONEST with you. This parallels the absurdity of unbiased "journalism" in the USA. Give me a biased (honest) writer any time. I know what he means because I have learned his biases. When he tries to hide his biases he is a liar.

Welcome strong opinions from a writer but know what they have written in the past and know how it fits in with your view of the subject and the world.

Other than that, I have nothing to add to Todd's rebuttal.
