Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: The "New Journalism" - Not like the old journalism.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

I read the first few pages. The conceit is that the journalist knows and represents the collective mind of his readership. Or did, but doesn’t anymore. I’m not sure. The reality is that journalists affect to be objective, and they are anything but. The reality is that the journalist promotes himself by denigrating everyone who is a doer instead of a mere theorist like himself. The reality of America is that “the press” is not close to "the grass roots.” Rather, the journalist is a member of a Borg. The journalist’s “borg” is the wire service, and the journalist is close indeed to that. But journalists are biased against the people who actually work to a bottom line. And the reality is that socialism is - nominal definitions notwithstanding - nothing other than the conceit that critics who never try to actually do anything should be in charge of everything.
