Travel Day

Moore Jeffs
| | So I just turned on the TV here in my hotel room, and what should I see but Jeff Jarvis, telling Aaron Brown and Jeff Greenfield that Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 was inexcusably bad, both in its facts and its methods; that in an age when Us-vs.-Them mentality is ruining the world, Moore makes a Them, an enemy, of a part of Us. Jeff J's argument pushed Jeff G to defend the movie as political theater, recalling how various founding fathers were also accused of terrible venalities, excusing Moore's fact-shading and partisan nastiness by categorizing it as an honorably rooted political tradition. (Or, by translation to The Media, as entertainment.) |
| | Jeff J sided with civility and civilization, with honest dialogue, with partisanship subordinated to open-mindedness. In other words, to the best of what we try to build here in the blogosphere. |
| | On the other side, Jeff G sided with television. |

It is not like the Bush Administration believe in 'civility and civilization, with honest dialogue, with partisanship subordinated to open-mindedness'. While I do agree with what you said, I also believe it is fair to give an equally unbalanced look at things as this Administration and the Media have.

"honest dialogue, with partisanship subordinated to open-mindedness. In other words, to the best of what we try to build here in the blogosphere."
"On the other side, Jeff G sided with television."
Irony is the fifth fundamental force of the universe.
Keep working on that open-minded, honest-dialogue bit, Doc.

It may be fair, but that doesn't make it right.
