An honest question for Wieseltier
I debated whether the bizarre takedown of Andrew Sullivan by might be one of those situations where the less said, the better. The only rebuttal that seems necessary is this one: Under what circumstances might one criticize ” the Goldfarb-Krauthammer wing” (in the Sullivan original, of conservatism, not of Judaism) without falling into some kind of trap of anti-semitism?
The article may be worthwhile, though, to delight in Wieseltier’s takedown of blogging generally due to “the divine right of bloggers to exempt themselves from the interrogations of editors.” It’s my understanding that Wieseltier himself is somehow contractually exempt from editing in TNR, which explains a lot as far as it goes.
