I've got your wanker right here:

Andrew Keen visits The Colbert Report to flog his book, "The Cult of the Amateur: How today's Internet is killing our culture."

The money quote (sans Colbert's riffs) about those debbil bloggers:

They make stuff up, they're anonymous. Do you think there were weapons of mass destruction? Where did you learn that? And you're on the Internet all day? I think you're supporting my argument. I think we need objective, professional journalists who responsibly collect the news, rather than anonymous bloggers who are often in the pay of corporations or foreign governments. That's the crisis of this medium, that's what's so troubling.

Damn those bloggers and their phony yellowcake, aluminum-tubes, and weapons-of-mass-destruction-related-program-activities bloggity posts! Why didn't we listen to what the professionals said!?

Michiko Kakutani is sparing with her usual venom in her review of Andrew Keen's "The Cult of The Amateur - how the internet is killing our culture", (in her words) "a shrewdly argued jeremiad against the digerati effort to dethrone cultural and political gatekeepers and replace experts with the “wisdom of the crowd.”

The Horror! Perhaps Michiko fears she could be dethroned herself? But let's move on:

For one thing, Mr. Keen says, “history has proven that the crowd is not often very wise,” embracing unwise ideas like “slavery, infanticide, George W. Bush’s war in Iraq, Britney Spears.”

I'll leave the first two alone, but how can it not be obvious that the responsibility for these last two examples lies entirely with the "experts" and not the crowd?

The initial popular support for George W. Bush's war in Iraq was a direct consequence of the Experts' relentless and passionate cheerleading for the war.
