Good writing, and that’s something else the old media is missing. To be honest, the new media is very much like the original media of this country....
That is certainly true. And, to be sure, the original media was filled with
polemics (e.g. Coulter)
emotional appeals to truth (e.g. Beck)
strident American exceptionalsim (e.g. Limbaugh and Levin) clever humor (all)
populism (e.g. Hannity and O’Reilly) and
appeals to religious truth (e.g. Ingraham and Beck).
Everything old is new again....
