Blogging, and the world wide web in general makes reality so much more real. It takes away legitimacy where none is deserved and it brings out actual thoughts from behind the shadows and into the light...
Makes people question the legitimacy of sources and the sources of legitimacy.
Kevin Drum on blogging
A couple of years ago I was at a small panel discussion in Los Angeles on the subject of blogging. My most vivid memory of the event — aside from the fact that Eugene Volokh actually had a bullet-pointed handout for the group — came about halfway through when a lady stood up and said, in a querulous tone, "The thing I don't like about blogging is that it allows anybody to say anything."
It's the kind of remark that pretty much leaves you speechless.
