Partisan Hacks Must Go!
Apr 23
Partisanship is an indulgence we can no longer afford. Partisan mantras and emotional appeals have all but replaced pragmatism and reasoned argument in public discourse. With some notable exceptions, the media has been reduced to little more than a cheerleading corps, repeating the catch phrased and emotion-based arguments of interest groups and political operatives.
This blog is an attempt to interject a pragmatic counterpoint to the onslaught of emotion-based reporting in the media. Clearly I won’t get it all right, so correct me when I’m wrong. I’m always looking to learn new things and to expose myself to new points of view.
