As a useful corrective to the optimism of bloggy zealots [that's right, I'm talkin' to you -- you know who you are] read Jack Shafer's Blog Overkill article in the current edition of Slate.

He also includes lots of links to other commentary that will give you a good idea of the dimensions of the discourse. Read it here.
