ST: [...W]hat media outlets do you read or listen to nowadays?
WS: I listen very regularly, almost religiously, to Democracy Now. And I would never miss an issue of The Nation
. I'm a very slow reader [SIC!!!!!] and I can't say there are too many publications I read every word of. At times, I've read The Guardian
every day, and The New York Review of Books
. And there are great articles on Tom Dispatch on the web, and I'm a subscriber to Left Business Observer. CounterPunch. I wish I were one of those people who could read everything, but I'm not.
ST: To what extent do you worry, as I do, that your opinions aren't getting challenged enough when you pick your media so specifically? Do you worry about only reading the opinions of people who more or less agree with your assumptions?
WS: I don't worry about it at all.Obviously Wally has NO sense of irony.(Via
the usual Romy, who is also quite irony-deprived)
