There is a huge difference between popularity and authority. The crying, blathering kid that screamed at us to "leave Brittney alone" was very popular. I think you would be pretty hard pressed to find somebody that says he is an authority on anything though.

These days, page views do not equal authority.

Okay maybe the question should be does the audience adequately PERCEIVE the difference between authority and popularity, given the medium??
