Fair and Balanced and Centrist?

Whether you are a trickle-down Tea Partier or a Bubble-Up Egghead, not to mention the victims of ad hominem, ad group'em, ad label'em, add lose'em rhetoric or its perpetrator, The New Yorker might be part of the problem. But maybe it's my problem* or maybe they have made progress ***.

Speaking of bull or the Rodeo Clown, we should ponder who is the bull and who is the cowboy in that self- prescription. Not to mention Irony.

* I'm actually a great admirer but thought it might be too out there **for others

** link is post hock (or add: pre-pawn)

***BOTTOM LINE: If you can get past Newt Gingrich and his "post-modern" interpetations of his "democratic socialist" buddies Camus and Orwell, it is a fair and balanced whack at a "comprehensive" problem, and I think the Hopi-ChangeY thing has a... quiver.

{embedded words: made progress(read link),bull(USATodayWeekend), Rodeo Clown(David Sirota), self (Bill Bennett), prescription(Dr. Dean), Irony(Robert Reich), too out there(Beck),comprehensive(Lamar Alexander), problem(cheap shot), quiver} (->)(see comment & ribble)

i.e. sometimes a scroll over of the embedded words(links) in this post will merit a full read or hint that will assist in context.(<-)

The Point?

What some people call talking points are to others real points. But if ABC comes to their senses and scraps "The Path to 9/11", we have made a point or more. They will have talking points about "liberal control" of the media but the point must be that 9/11 should not be used for profit or propaganda and there is a difference between talking and reality.

Entertainment should have some freedom, but the 9/11 tragedy and it's investigation should not be used in that regard on "public" airwaves, especially on the anniversary and without comparing contrasting with work such as Orwell's "1984" and Michael Moore's "Farenheit 9/11" both of which would be more entertaining and related to our reality, and which "Path", even with alterations would fit more as the character and subject in these works.

Memories...or Excusing Pre-quashing

The Phoenix rises and who got burned or left on the hook.

Orwell roles in his grave should suggest two possibilities that at best may be one. Either there is an intention to make the best of a bad situation or the worst of a good situation. Meaning and I am rarely so direct: A and/or B. There is a better target for indictment or the target was the new press.

OK, so I am not so direct, but commentary is "hard work".
May the press be the THE PHOENIX not the quashee.

The Man versus The State (Forward) by Herbert Spencer

Audio presentation of Herbert Spencer's classic 1884 book 'The Man versus The State.' Read and produced by Jock Coats and made available online by the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Herbert Spencer lived long enough to witness both the hey-day of classical liberal reform in the mid-nineteenth century—the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846 which ushered in a period of virtual free trade in Britain—and the gradual decline of classical liberalism towards the end of the nineteenth century. It is the latter which helps explain the grumpiness expressed in his later writings such as the collection of essays entitled Facts and Comments (1902). Spencer was born in Derby, England in 1820 to a strict, non-conformist family, and died in 1903. As a young man, Spencer worked for the leading free trade journal of the day, The Economist, from 1848-1853 during which time his first significant book appeared—Social Statics (1850). Here he worked with James Wilson, one of the most consistent advocates of laissez-faire in Britain, Nassau Senior, one of the leading members of the classical school of political economy, and Thomas Hodgskin, a radical individualist author. Much of the rest of his life was spent working on an all-encompassing theory of human development based upon the ideas of individualism, utilitarian moral theory, social and biological evolution, limited government, and laissez-faire economics. In his later writings, most notably The Principles of Sociology (1876-1896), he drew a sharp distinction between the peaceful productivity of free market societies ("the industrial type of society") and the social conflict, political privilege, and proclivity to war and empire inherent in societies with "over-legislation" ("the militant type of society"). In The Man Versus The State (1884) Spencer argued that the politics of vested interests and the increasing demand for economic regulation would lead to a new form of "slavery" and a "rebarbarization" of society. The rise of pro-interventionist "New Liberalism" in the 1880s and 1890s and the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899 confirmed his worst fears. (Source: Liberty Fund, Inc.)
