Can't say I've ever heard of WebProNews before, but this columnist is revising an earlier piece criticising WND. He also says "I tend to think philosophies are prisons robbing us of any great view of reality. That's a rather erudite point we don't need to get into here, my bias against true objectivity which underlies my refusal to compromise how I truly feel." Whew, some writing!

I don't think I'd trust any website calling themselves "WebProNews". Sounds more like an adware suite than a reputable media outlet.

Exactly. "Thinking" is counter-productive. Workers must work and not think. Leave the thinking to the Think Department. "Feeling" is good, as long as Feeling is moderated by the desire to produce.

Be Happy. Produce.

Interesting ... last I heard the world economy was in meltdown, there is no free-market solution in sight yet, and state intervention is running out of zeroes. And what really interests the media is stories about other smaller parts of the media dreamed up by microscopic portions of the media ... about the person on whose desk the buck has apparently stopped. So at least the focus is squarely on Mr Obama's economic competence - not.

It's coverage in the actual media rather than blogs isn't very widespread. It is however cheap and easy to write so there is a significant incentive for media organisations to pick it up. similar to the reason it can be rather hard to find out about day to day events outside the more heavily industrialised notations.

And the media loves to talk about the media, because to those making it, it's "the world" they live in.

They can eat their own most amusingly, however:
