Majoring on the Minors/Open Trackbacks
This is Friday’s Open Trackback Alliance post, open for trackbacks Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Link to this post and track back. More below the post body.
No long post, today, just a link to someone else who makes the point that the world’s turned upside down, relatively unimportant “news” dominates while real news languishes, and self-appointed opinion makers have no judgement at all.
“…it is hard to imagine winning this war with a media incapable of basic judgments about priorities; about obvious good and obvious evil.”
And, I might add, a political elite more concerned with preening, chest-thumping and making points on CNN than with grappling seriously with real issues. Priorities? Good and evil? No! Jiggered polls, re-election, shredding the Constitution and the rule of law, and screwing the little guy—yes!. And screwing the not-so-little guy, too, if it will make points with the Mass Media Podpeople’s Army, Kofi’s Kritters, Academia Nut Fruitcakes and their ilk.
“Suppose you were a congressman, and suppose you were an idiot. But I repeat myself.” —Mark Twain
*sigh*
As I said, this is an open trackback post, open all weekend long. Link to this post and then track back. If you want to host your own linkfests, check out
