The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. — Samuel Adams

14 November, 2001: "Blogwatch..."

By Kathy Kinsley

While most major media pundits are falling all over themselves trying to find the bad side of the collapse of the Taleban, my fellow bloggers are virtually dancing in the streets, as am I. I didn't do much blogging yesterday because I was too busy grinning my fool head off.

Glenn Reynolds posted a good comment on the media yesterday.

"Some years ago, in an interview in the Chicago Tribune , I compared the media to a hysterical child. To get the attention of a distant mother, the child gets louder. The mother responds by withdrawing, causing the child to get louder still. That seems to be the dynamic, with the media in the child role. But isn't it time for the child to grow up, get its own apartment, start dating, learn to cook . . . .?"
I agree.

Joanne Jacobs has a nice little rant about the media, Bjorn Staerk has posted a lot of good links about the freeing of Kabul, and both he and Matt Welch have a few suggestions for the anti-war left. Meanwhile, Tony Adragna is doing a bit of "I told you so" on Quasipundit -- all of them posting some good reads while I was lazing off yesterday.
