Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Times We Tolerate

I opened the NYTimes webpage this morning and the top two stories were on Mitt Romney.

He's apparently raising more money on Wall Street than Obama.  Wow, who could've guessed THAT!  Penetrating investigating reporting, Times.  I bet if you dig deeper you will find he's raised more money among Republicans.

I'm glad that the Times has devoted so many pixels to the guy who is trailing Herman Cain for the GOP nomination.  That's awesome.

But I had to scroll down almost to the bottom to see a mention of the global sweep of OWS rallies yesterday.

This is why people mock the Times.  The biggest story of the fall is happening outside their very windows and they want to tell us that Romney is raising money on Wall Street and is Mormon.

When does the Guardian open their American paper again?
