Since a couple of family members are journalists, I find his commentary especially interesting and relevant. For instance, here's his take on last night's debate:
My favorite (unintentionally revealing) media commentary about the debate is from The Washington Post's Anne Kornblut and Dan Balz, who devoted paragraph after paragraph to describing the substance-free "issues" that consumed most of the debate -- Obama's "remarks about small-town values, questions about his patriotism and the incendiary sermons of his former pastor . . . gaffes, missteps and past statements" -- and, at the end of the article, they added:The debate also touched on Iraq, Iran, the Middle East, taxes, the economy, guns and affirmative action.It's just not possible to express the wretched state of our establishment press better than that sentence does.
Indeed. Back to you, Katie...
