To each his own! Fox's Kelly is as intelligent as she is beautiful, youth and blondeness notwithstanding. Hume hasn't struck me as sober and judicious in years. Krauthammer is shifting to centrism and there is increasingly not a lot there. Glenn Beck, while no genius, had me spellbound yesterday with his commentary on moral challenges of hardship, referencing Moses and Jesus. He sounds like a man who has actually lived, struggled and found a way to combine dignity and humility, which is one of the most difficult pas de deux known to humanity.
They're about as good as they are "fair and balanced." Not outstandingly. Not worth a $50/month cable bill. But now that I can watch it free on blinkotv.com, I tune in.
Incidentally, I feel exactly the same about the overall quality of VDH.
*Bump*
Obama has gotten away with fooling the public for so long that by blaming Bush and continuing his policies he believes can still dupe them with impunity. The bow event is an example where what the WH says will be the truth and believed regardless of how many people see the pictures. This is the supreme arrogance and confidence Obama has knowing he is loved and that love is blind to his faults — the public won’t believe their lying eyes regarding the bow. The “it’s Bushes fault” narrative has many miles left in it before Obama dumps it; the public will never dump the mantra as long as Obama continues to use it. Lets face it, they are infatuated with his gazillion watt TV smile. That smile settles them down, cheers them up, tells that there is nothing to worry about, that life is good and when the smile stops it tells them that it is “Bushes fault.” The media are the new make-up artists that keep the facey smile flushed, smiling and in tact for future smiling events — it’s fascism with a smile as Johnathan Goldberg intimated. Black is always more black with a bright smile as this will be this president’s legacy. And he has every right to smile as long as the public believe in him and his quisling nonsense about Bush.
I am in awe.
Cheers!
