Over at weblog watcher Blogdex, at number 25 in their list 'o' popular links at the time of writing, is the fairly remarkable claim that "the Guardian has gone pro-war". Blimey. Judging by the Blogdex timings, the assertion seems to have been made first by armchair general (or "warblogger") Glenn Reynolds, who linked to this leader from... er... yesterday's Observer (the clue is in the URL). He did qualify the statement with a "well, strictly speaking it's the Guardian/Observer, but still. . .". So doubtless he'll be claiming today's Guardian leader is a remarkable u-turn, and the other me-too weblogs will trot along behind once more. If nothing else, it serves to highlight the mindless re-serving of opinion and links (with nothing added while reheating) that passes for a large chunk of blogdom. Why do they bother?
