>>Or with more passion and interest in the position.

but more often with a lesser degree is expertise.

passion and interest aren't the criteria for a good critic; knowledge and discernment are.

passion and interest are fine for folks playing pretend critic on message boards - or even for folks just expressing options and sharing reactions - but critic is a real job that serves a real function.

journalists passing (or more often being mis-read) as critics muddied the water but the idea that the internet has turned everyone into a critic is inaccurate.

i can buy a white coat and wear a stethoscope but it wouldn't make me a doctor.
