The Worst Writer in America
UPDATE: Malkin just picked up on Morford’s weekly bile — she’s encouraging readers to tell the Chronicle just what they think about him.
————————-
Mark Morford of the San Francisco Chronicle. I simply can not find a more loathsome combination of content and writing style in a mainstream American publication.
Each column begins with a 12-comma rant of hatred, followed by a few hundred words of justification, then ends with an “it’s all tripe, anyway” signoff – as if even he can not stomach another moment of his work. He’s the guitar-smashing opening act — desperate to be relevant, but dreadfully aware of his mediocrity. So he acts out, stomps off-stage, hoping the attitude shows how little he cares what you think.
Here are his archives, would love to hear anyone else’s opinion.

Typical narcissist. And magnificent douchebag. Every time his finger hits a key, the cumulative quality of the written word is diminished.
