Where are the voices of reason like this today? No wonder print media is going out of business - after a while their gullibility in taking every press release at face value tires. I'm not sure there's a critical thinker left at any major publications.

Speaking of which, the Carlos Slim money seems to have come with an agreement for a pro-immigration article per day - and the NYT has come through, as people indebted to a master will, with a convoluted argument that more immigration will actually increase wages. No supply or demand curves needed.

Even if there were any voices of reason in a major publication today, it wouldn't make a difference. Not enough to change the zeitgeist.

Thomas Sowell has been writing essays and syndicated columns that touch on many of these issues for decades...

That surprises me. Pinch and friends don't seem like the usual WASP types who continually yearn to fall prostrate before imagined masters, be they black, Hispanic, Muslim or whatever. I would think this fits into the ideological framework of Pinch.

Chief Seattle:

It's almost 30 years ago (1980) that I came to the conclusion (after 40 years of avid, two-a-day
newspaper reading) that it was better to be uninformed than misinformed (and propagandized).

Since that time, I haven't read a newspaper or newsmagazine. Dropped TV news altogether, too, though, in the last 10 years or so have come to watch news or O'Reilly once or twice a week.

When you're swimming in it, it's impossible to keep from swallowing some.

Confess! According to Barney Frank, the irredeemably liberal Massachusetts Democrat -- with a solid 94% rating from Americans for Democratic Action -- that is what the bankers of America must now do.

Only 94%?

Yeah. Must be more than one way he's "light in the loafers."

Online journalism arrived 30 years too late. (Maybe 130.)

Even then it's questionable whether it could compete with TV.
