You're Not Going to Believe This, But the Easy-Bake Media Is Once Again Focusing on a Trivial Issue Which Is So Easily Understood That You Need to Have Exactly Zero Outside Reading to Opinionate Passionately About ItBoy, we really seem to enjoy our triviality and decadence, don't we? I didn't comment on Obama saying the word "nigger." It's beneath comment. Are we seriously at this stage of childish pettiness? Are we really going to just keep on Amusing Ourselves to Death? That's not a slight of Allahpundit; it's a slight of our TV (and all other mainstream) media, whose favorite story hook is mere stupidity. Erick Erickson has a good point that Lemon can vamp and preen about saying "nigger" -- fine; he's trivially right -- but CNN continues to embargo the Charlie Hebdo cartoons. A recent Matt Lewis column mentioned a book called Amusing Ourselves to Death, by Neil Postman, which was published in 1985.... Its central thesis struck a chord with me: That freedom and reason will be lost in America not in an Orwellian way, but in a Huxleyan one. Orwell's vision was of a government ruthlessly suppressing books and changing written accounts of the past in order to change the thinking of the present.... I guess now that we've fixed Obamacare, the OPM security system, defeated ISIS and balanced the budget, we can enjoy our Fake News Fun Time without guilt. | Recent Comments
