Ruthless fascist employers block access to blogs

John Wagner, who blogs about PR and corporate communications, issues a dire warning:
Blogs are under attack! Apparently Corporate America believes that blogs are harmful to your health, so they're taking steps to protect you. First, from Ad Age (registration required) comes word that American workers will waste a lot of time reading blogs this year. Waste time? I thought we were all "knowledge workers?" Next, Wired magazine reports that lots of companies are using firewall software to block employee access to blogs.
Can you imagine the nerve? What reasonable employer would deny invaluable cutting-edge journalism to his staff?
