					<description><![CDATA[Kyndyll, that&#039;s right! Of course, I shudder to think about what this means for me, in view of my sketchy track record of attempts at car maintenance, for example....

You might see me on a Midwestern roadside with a &quot;Will do math/tend plants for food&quot; sign or something.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...really true...&quot;

You make a good point.

I suspect that no one involved in that echo chamber---not even someone like her---is able at this point to tell, or even recognize, the truth.

So that when she says something like &quot;coverage decisions are largely a matter of Ratings&quot; what she really means (but can&#039;t bring herself to say) is, &quot;coverage decisions are based entirely on how much we trash Trump, which was fabulous for our Ratings for a long time but no longer, since our Ratings have plumeted.&quot;.

And so, with such a &quot;practical&quot; epiphany to  buttress her conscience, it&#039;s now time to leave that particular sinking ship.

That this is happening at all would seem to be positive news.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The former MSNBC woman says that their coverage decisions are largely a matter of Ratings....maybe this is true at a tactical level, but I question whether it&#039;s really true at a strategic level.  It seems likely that a somewhat less-hysterical tone might attract more viewers of attractive demographics, and hence more ad revenue.

Does Comcast view its MSNBC subsidiary purely as a source of profit, or does it have other interests in this network?  Same question for AT&#038;T and CNN, and for Disney and ABC.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What this is an indication of is that AG Sulzberger isn&#039;t actually in the business of running a newspaper and has no respect for quality product or good performance among his employees.  &lt;i&gt;The New York Times&lt;/i&gt; is a rich man&#039;s toy.  If his cousins were sensible, they&#039;d take it away from him and put it in the hands of a faithful steward.  All of them appear to be counting on the paper&#039;s viability being unaffected by this sort of inanity.  Their marks have eaten sh!t for 35 years, so they&#039;ll continue to eat sh!t.  Karma may prove to be a bit*h.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I see hatred of meritocracy as the ultimate first world problem; a symptom of the end-stage of advanced civilization. We are so far away from the real life that  humankind dealt with for most of its history, in which being unable to do a task can mean not surviving, that entitled infantile people think that competency no longer matters. There are no perceived existential external threats, such as an enemy, or drought, or disease, or other situations in which, if you let the least capable run the show, everyone dies. Therefore, those so inclined see no problem with caring more about having the &quot;right&quot; assortment of people doing something than with making sure those people can actually do it. These are people who, until they run into a SHTF scenario, have no idea that incompetence kills.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So Chomsky had his Own Private &quot;Homage to Catalonia&quot;?

Gosh, after his unstinting efforts to defend an ardent European Holocaust denier, on the one hand, and an equally ardent, if more &quot;hands on&quot;, Kampuchean genocidal maniac, on the other (all the while trashing American &quot;interference&quot; in the affairs of others---there does indeed appear to be a pattern to Chomskian &quot;diversity&quot;!), who would ever have guessed that he was capable of harboring a romantic streak (to be sure, Catalonia does have its seductive side, especially for someone who is ideologically susceptible...)…

...Well, maybe Eric Blair, who drew his own conclusions after coming to that particular fork in the road.]]></description>
