Boyd should have balanced his coverage with a look at French blogs at Le Monde, Liberation, and Skyblog. The rhetoric at ground zero is offset by thoughtful bloggers who live in the crossfire. That's much more moving than the meandering musings of people living far outside the turmoil.

I mean alot of kevin myers stuff can also be said to be on the right. The article is also a opinion piece. only taking one side as peterb said <i>“Brian Boyd went surfing for far-out views..” and surprise, surprise, that’s just what he found.. and they are the only views he quotes.</i> ya it was an attack on the far right. but blogs are opinion pieces not news reports.

I mean, hasn't Karlin Lillington written much more illuminating articles on blogs for the past 4 years or so? Isn't she writing her own blog? They're treating their own readers like a bunch of morons. Why does the Irish Times do this?
