Media Criticism
Why the fuck does the media always report damning information about the Bush administration after the damage has been done? Is it that they worry about being "political" by reporting actual facts that may have some bearing on political decisions? Or is it just that the Bush administration is good enough at controlling the flow of information that the decisively damning information doesn't get out until they've achieved whatever goal they were going for? Some combination of the two?UPDATE: Jodi Dean has written another great post, and it happens to be sufficiently closely related to this post that I am linking it here.
ANOTHER UPDATE: This one's not related, but m2 of The H is O has written the ultimate tribute to troll du jour.
A SOMBER UPDATE: The Young Hegelian is retiring.
"HE JUST KEEPS UPDATING!": This is probably the best blog post ever. (via Bob of Unfogged, which now has a new blogger-with-ovaries. She's not nearly as cool as Angela or Tara, though, and she cannot possibly beat Tara in the infrequent posting department. The Weblog remains The Weblog, the very form-of-blog. Everyone blogs -- only we blog in the World of Forms.)
