...The One-Minute Pundit

Tuesday, November 04, 2008


The notion of a "never-ending election season" may seem satirical, but I'm not laughing; all the cable "news" maniacs have to do is merge the midterms with the general election, then encourage Presidential candidates to campaign earlier and earlier by handing them oodles of free publicity, and we will have the permanent election. That our author thinks this the only way to prosperity for so many media outlets points to their essential shallowness.

And what Mort Zuck didn't make official before, he's done today, by making Useless News almost completely useless. We now for all practical purposes have one newsrag, and even that is undercut by its glibness. The others are just Web sites and essays.
