Some Things Detwaddled
21st April 2012
Fred looks at journalism in America.
Journalism in America, and perhaps everywhere, works according to unacknowledged templates in which the reporter fills in blanks, thus saving him the nuisance of thought, for which he is generally not well suited anyway. In matters of race, it also saves him from being drawn and quartered for Crime Thought. If he follows the template, he is safe. Stupidity, sloth, and cowardice are thus fertilized.
And that says all that really needs to be said about journalism in America. But read the rest of it anyway.
