The New Republic or The National Review? Does it matter? The once liberal The New Republic is growingly eerily close - and stupid - to the detached The National Review. So quotes Ezra Klein:
No wonder, several years after the blogosphere allegedly became a people powerhouse, the country is mired even deeper in Iraq and successfully distracted by one false public alarm after another.
Sorry, but that's so downright insane that, for the first time in the history of this blog, I have to quote it again. Remember, this is Lee Seigel, an employee of The New Republic, blaming bloggers for the continuation of the Iraq War:
No wonder, several years after the blogosphere allegedly became a people powerhouse, the country is mired even deeper in Iraq and successfully distracted by one false public alarm after another.
The New Republic's reasoning here is nothing short of fucked up. That and they're very frightened of losing their pundit-robes to the blogosphere.
