The National Post has an article by Matt Welch on the impact of anti-American literature such as works by Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal and others on how the West is perceived around the world. He blames them in part for the disconnect between the actions of the West and what other people believe it has done. In the piece Matt introduces the readers to Fisking, "a word used to describe any incidence of an online writer picking apart a particularly asinine column". 8:44:26 PM
