Generalization Warfare
[Posted 10-27-10]
and Characterizationalism.
Unmarketed forces.
What's Christopher Hedges' problem in this problematic read?
Class warfare? Liberal is not a class nor the answer.
VALUES ARE THE ANSWER and politics the process. Liberal as "object of public scorn"? Yes! But a word does not make an object, nor a class. Nor do they adequately describe the institutions of the church, press, academia or party.
Now... "low", "middle" and "upper class", may be a more proper use of terms, especially when it comes to labor, incomes or wealth and it is no more fair to blame the class as a whole. But it would seem that the middle-class bears the brunt of any blame if that is the game. Where were they when the so-called liberal class failed them? Satisfied with their progress and taking the liberals for granted, as well as the powers they thought they wielded. But warfare is not the right field of political correction.
[It may have been just over my head, but it seems a cheap shot at Chomsky.]

Save Our Helium.
It was helium, not "hot air", but it was a distraction that should put the media on notice if not in a basket.
I was truly concerned when Thom Hartmann mentioned the boy who took flight in a balloon and soon found it on Huffington Post and MSNBC. Long story short? It seems there is a longer story here, but thankfully not involving a missing or injured boy. At the time, one suspicion that was as of this morning still hanging out there: Was there a basket or could they not know that the child would have not been able to lift off with a basket or without structural damage to the balloon? I won't belabor the motive for coverage, but the accuracy and reliability and speculation?
Meanwhile: I do not agree with Arianna Huffington except for her displeasure with the media. Meanwhile Truthdig's Joe Conason and Real Journalism.
(Not to mention.)
