Nine Hundred Channels Without Intelligent Life
I'm not particularly fond of television journalism, and yesterday's Pennsylvania Democratic debate only reaffirmed my disdain. Anyhow, it suffices to say that the debate of record was by far the most boring and inane to date. The two inquiries by George Stephanopoulus and Gibson featured here are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg of intellectual surrender.
At any rate, I decided to forgo the usual caption out of formatting concerns.

Not to be confused with "change you can Xerox." While we're on the topic of rhetoric, I rather appreciated Christopher Hitchens' recent article on the sorry state of today's political and public discourse.

Say, here's a suggestion: Let's not talk about Obama's performance in New Hampshire and just say we did, alright? Instead, let's excoriate those gosh-darned pollsters who led us astray, never mind that they owe their credibility--and subsequent station as professional prophets--to our heretofore stalwart credulity and indolence.

Largesse
No, Old Moneybags isn't suffering from some exotic skeletal defect; he's just excited by the prospects of additional media consolidation, never mind the invariable loss of journalistic vigor and the consequent public ignorance it breeds. Anyhow, the regulatory relaxation in question pertains to restrictions on ownership of both print and broadcast media within the same city.
