Would Bloggers Have Stopped Buchwald's Career?

From the Washington Post’s obituary of Art Buchwald:

The budding humorist lived in a series of foster homes, and he and his three sisters saw their father only on Sundays. When he turned 17, Buchwald lied about his age and escaped into the Marine Corps. The Marines, he wrote, got “full credit for straightening me out.” He served in the Pacific during World War II. He attended the University of Southern California for three years and then dropped out after learning that he could use the GI Bill to study in Paris.
