I disagree with Hightower.

What you will find here is: a centrist's view of current events;
a collection of thoughts, arguments, and observations
that I have found appealing and/or amusing over the years;
and, if you choose, your civil contributions which will make it into a conversation.

atomistic news media

.
Rachel Maddow described current news media as atomistic. If it is true that you can tell what someone’s political views are by where they get their news, then where are the viewers of some of the purveyors of news and psuedonews? Here is where I would place them on the spectrum.

Rush and Beck ................. right wingnut
Hannity, Other FoxNews ........ right partisan
FoxNews Special report ........ right folk
WSJ ........................... center right
Real clear politics ........... center
Wash. Post, PBS news .......... center left
Network news, NPR, NYT ........ left folk
Rachel Maddow, other MSNBC .... left partisan
Keith Olberman ................ left wingnut
