Yes, I noticed this before. I keep doing it. Vowel alliteration? OK two "o's". Maybe I get conflicting visual infos sometimes, <http://palgolak.blogspot.com/2007/05/inestimable-james-walcott-another.\ html> wrong visual clues? <http://thinkexist.com/quotation/irving_can_be_devilishly_readable-just_\ as_your/210796.html>
I can't stand people who misspell other people's names! It's utterly impolite and negligent. They deserve to roast in hell! But concerning MSM. I am not so sure? What do the habits of the average US citizen look like? I remember a series of chats - cia-drugs off list - with a part time air controller, who also worked in some privatized animal disease laboratory, whose name I forget <http://palgolak.blogspot.com/2007/05/inestimable-james-walcott-another.\ html> , close to NYC? Daily? that means a lot of time for travel too. Maybe he wasn't quite the average guy? How many turn on their TV the moment they enter their home since they consider this relaxing, and don't question what they are fed? Being informed has a strong time component too. That's why it still works: Remember the latest poll about Saddam and WMD? The problem is, if you aren't in the writing business it needs much of your time, time the average person won't or can't waste. I remember it was pretty startling in TV sciences to watch all channels pick exactly the same news as newsworthy, based on the news factors, professional? - maybe- including the respective completely interchangeable film clips. Someone descends from an airplane. Cars arrive somewhere. Then ceremonial hand shakes. But I am very, very pleased to see you are SOOOO utterly patient with me, the misspelling champ. ;) James Wolcott. I noticed, I had to concentrate; but now I think, I finally got the message. ;) -jo Sean McBride wrote: > > Please spell his name correctly: James Wolcott. :) Most of your other misspellings I let pass; your English is much more polished than my German. > > The traditional mainstream media are facing complete collapse -- the Internet is pulling the rug out from under them. Mainstream media pundits are suffering from the delusion that they were hired for their talent. On the contrary, the billionaires who have controlled the mainstream media selected them for their mediocrity and pliability, for their utter absence of independent thinking, for their usefulness in protecting and advancing the financial interests of the oligarchy/plutocracy which owns the media. These sad sacks, like Joe Klein, are now in a state of free fall, as they are forced to confront better minds on a level playing field, without a system rigged for the benefit of a handful of oligarchs to prop them up. Their cries of anguish about the unfairness of it all are amusing. Very few current mainstream media pundits will be able to acquire and hold an audience in the new Internet Age -- they are not competitive. > > # Chief Cultural Guardian > > > > James Wolcott > > >
