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.

Just The Worst

 Fox News is not a journalistic enterprise. The fact they are allowed to exist in the same headspace as the Times or Post, CNN or even MSNBC is a joke, but not a very funny one.

I have a vague memory of Rupert Murdoch surviving a plane crash back in the '80s or '90s. Damned shame that that happened. There have always been cranks and lunatics on the Right. Birchers, Klansmen and neo-Nazis have all been at the margins, but now they have nightly shows on Fox.
