And now for the left side of the scale
: Via Brian Linse, I see that Danny Goldberg — president of Artemis Records, macher at the ACLU and Tikkun, and more — has a weblog and I like it already because it’s unpredictable and pop-culturally wise:

It seems impossible to have a conversation about progressive or Democratic political hopes without someone lamenting the corrosive influence of Fox News. This seems like a cop-out to me…. Fox News is far more complicated and entertaining than simplistic put-downs would indicate. Part of the job for progressives at this time is to learn how to use some of the same cultural tools in service of a different philosophy.

    Sounds to me like he’s been reading the Fountainhead by Rand.
    I never knew the blue streak on the hockey puck was corrosive.

    Neither “Conservatives” or “Liberals”, or whatever, have any room to bitch. The “Liberals” have had the benefit of lording over most of the media market for years and still do.
    The “Conservatives”, as champions of self-reliance, self-responsibility and free markets, should have done more than they have to compete in the media market. Instead they have been whining about liberal media bias for what. . . 10, 15, 20 years?
