Everyone’s talking about how the weblog has served us well as a tool since 9-11. But of course it is also a potential vehicle for inanity. Take this, from WarLog by Jeff Jarvis, self-described “president & creative director of Advance.net and former TV critic for TV Guide, creator of Entertainment Weekly, Sunday Editor of the NY Daily News, and a columnist on the San Francisco Examiner“, who writes (taking the cake from Andrew Sullivan’s “fifth column” comments I noted below):

The Axis alliance of this war: Extreme fundamentalist Muslims who hate America, extreme fundamentalist Christians (read: Falwell) who hate what America has become, and extreme fundamentalist liberals (read Matt Welch and Christopher Hitchens’ attack on them) who want to blame America for what has befallen it. They’re all dangerous lunatics. Shouldn’t we in the media be exposing and ridiculing these kooks and cults? Isn’t that in our job description?
