They certainly aren't the first "journalists" to use the trolling tactic. Dvorak and Orlowski are two other examples that come to mind.

Mm, yes, and Donna Bogatin. She was beating on us for a while, but she seems to have stopped. What's distinctive about Valleywag is that it's a site and not just an individual.
Maybe we should make up a name for them. Journotrolls?

It's really not. Trollporter - some big green dude who carries bags, or a futuristic way for troll folk to travel instantly. I suggest Journatroll, it rolls of the tongue a little better than Journotroll. As a plus its fairly easy to work Journatrollism into a sentence where you would have said Journalism.

Hmm, maybe journatroll is better. A lot of these people aren't really reporters, more editorial writers.
