Re: America. By the balls? (none / 0)

I've seen the D word mentioned in articles on cnn.com and large papers. Most of the time the wording is as he describes, though. There is a conflict between pandering to advertiser expectations and an easy opportunity to scare the public into buying the paper.

you are the media you consume.

And the Nation is sort of a thoroughly (4.00 / 2)

marginalized new source in the US. It tells the truth too often.

Re: And the Nation is sort of a thoroughly (none / 1)

Not as much as it once was. Interestingly, the current editor has pushed some of the more inflammatory ranters off the front page. Shame--I liked some of them. But Christopher Hitchens' attack journalism really put off some good people- along with his apparent mental disintegration, IMO.

The label of "lefty rag" still sticks, though it's circulation is up, and it has sponsored a slew of interesting media projects, internship programs, discussion forums and conferences.

Useful talking follows experience, the more experience the better. Talking that precedes experience is known as bullshit.
