They're really recruiting the dregs of society. And both of these cops thought it was funny!
I sometimes thing Salon publishes articles like this just to irritate its readers and generate a response. What else can we blame Oprah for? What ever this very decent woman does there's going to be some jerk out there to criticize her for it. Too bad Salon has decided to give this one column space. This is not what I subscribed for...
As a Canadian, the widespread 'So what's new?' acceptance among many journalists of the profound ignorance of the American people on this vital topic - was a real shocker. Do they all truly believe that the battle for public education is so irretrievably lost? How sad that is - and (even worse) what if they're right?
I totally agree with Glenn on every point he made. Your media reps have let your country down big time in reporting important events of our times - and the whole world has suffered as a result. If it weren't for the blogosphere those idiots would still be the only source of news for the nation. Maybe there's hope for the future... Carole from Canada.
