will probably be up in arms about Wieseltier’s offhand remark (in that review you mentioned, Jonathan) about “the deranging influence of blogs.” Rightly, too. That some blogs are deranged I have no doubt. But many blogs have an enlightening influence. Besides, the people who get deranged by reading Bush-hating blogs (to return to the context of the review) would just as easily be deranged by reading Bush-hating books.
