But you're not so well served by a different paper with merely a different slant; what is wanted is not one without any slant whatsoever but one which organizes the conveyance of facts and significances w/o intention of propagandizing any viewpoint, most especially political. By no means an easy bill to fill.<br /><br />In my own case, a desire not to have my psyche catheterized thru the entertainment tubule led me to quit fiction entirely at age 12 (now 73); but, because of belief in "news" as "factual," neglected to shitcan such--for another 32 years!! (Since 1980, been "clean and sober"--haven't looked at a single newspaper or newsmagazine. Ditto for TV news (since 1990-- except C-Span a few years, then Fox (left-biased but "balanced" to recognize "bottom line" importance of the largest audience possible.<br /><br />The problem, (as far as importance<br />of an informed citizenry) might be concerned, is that bias (nearly exclusively left) is substantially more ingrained than formerly as is also true of almost all education.<br />We deal today not with outright liars convinced of serving mankind's greater good through their efforts--but with their already-convinced intellectual offspring (comprising elites at all levels) for 3 generations! The pernicious effects of such instruction are not confined merely to a nation's economic performance but instrumental in uniting disparate elements into the cohesive force necessary to support (and wage) aggressive war.<br /><br />Mises (whose economic doctrine I follow) observed many years ago that, the more polyglot (diverse) a country became, the greater also would control of the public educational curriculum come to be considered the greatest of prizes. (What more effective way to oppress and repress your ethnic opponents than to propagandize and organize their own children against their parents' particular interests?) His conclusion was that (and especially from their mothers' viewpoint) illiterate kids were more to be desired than dead ones. He was writing of Eastern Europe, of course--but we can see it happen here, as well.Gene Bermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-57452634233415562232010-01-28T08:30:47.619-08:002010-01-28T08:30:47.619-08:00You guys have a Hispanic Heritage Month?!

You say this is all a matter of culture, but that just kicks the can down the road. Why is it only certain population groups develop and maintain high-trust, non-violent cultures and others do not?<br /><br />I think you resist the obvious, because otherwise you have to accept that the natives in the Middle East can't be Occidentalized, no matter how many buildings we flatten or public schools we build.

Today, I seem to be witnessing the rapid evolution and consolidation of powerful niche players in the news, entertainment and sports industries. Narrowcasting is beginning to suppliant broadcasting as editors and publishers design policy and products for their favored groups while ignoring those out of favor. For example, The San Francisco Chronicle appears to want to become Americas LGBT Newspaper, while the New Republic's editors quietly worship Barrack Obama. <br /><br />With Steve Jobs introduction today of the iPad, its use along with the ubiquitous PC, roku, iphone, and ipod touch; the necessary hardware for home and mobile narrowcasting is now in place. <br /><br />What's needed now is a powerful, yet simple news\web\media aggregator to pull it all together. Frankly, the possibility of never having to watch CBS, NBC, or ABC non-factual news again, is something I would be willing to pay for.Toadalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710674512538267656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-50410720013069906402010-01-27T18:02:58.171-08:002010-01-27T18:02:58.171-08:00Note the spin.

Involving shooters who don't even know the victim. One man, a law abiding Joe Average citizen (Black) was shot at a taco stand by a 14 year old gang member, who picked him out because he had blue pants on (his Autozone working clothes, he was on lunch break).<br /><br />This according to an LAT article on the South Central Homicide Div. detectives, who work hard but are overwhelmed.<br /><br />The gang member did not express anger or remorse over the shooting, again he did not know the victim or care much one way or another. From the article (which ran IIRC around 2005 ???) it would appear that guns are fairly easy to get for Gang members. <br /><br />There was IIRC a gang shooting of some rapper at the Beverly Center, a fatal one. <br /><br />There seems to be ample archealogical and anthropological evidence that humans are inherently violent. Keeley's "War Before Civilization" and Wade's "Before the Dawn" cover the graves of pre-contact Eskimos, and neolithic Europeans, many of the bodies showing violent trauma such as the "Iceman" found in the glacier in the Alps from the early Bronze Age. Yes Europeans slaughtered each other individually with men, women, and children the victims.<br /><br />It seems that restricting the murder rate requires considerable social control, as weapons are always close to hand and human passions run reliably hot.Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-51602945620729172262010-01-27T17:22:25.044-08:002010-01-27T17:22:25.044-08:00Thanks for the statsoholic link.
