This just came out this morning from The Atlantic and I think summarizes the issues pretty well. Buffer image because that’s how we roll around here.
I don’t support the guy for saying stupid and offensive stuff to get attention...but I also think some “media watchdogs” are really grasping at straws lately. Either way, the modern media machine gives you an audience and a voice, then gives you a shovel to dig your own grave. I can’t imagine that anyone today would actually aspire to go into TV reporting or politics at all...
