The Wardman Wire

The most succinct word association for the Commentariat I have come across:

back-channel media.

A Freudian slip with more than a grain of truth.

Ufortunately the commentariat is defined by some as including political bloggers. Oops:

Examples of people who form the commentariat: talk show hosts and their guests, newspaper and magazine columnists, and political bloggers.

And one final quote:

Society is like a stew. If you don’t keep it stirred up you get a lot of scum on the top. - Edward Abbey, naturalist and author (1927-1989)

Have a nice day. And keep stirring.
