@MLClark You are a source of continual joy in my life!
I am tired. I stayed up late to watch the debate with Coso buddies.
Currently I'm in Texas visiting my parents till the 8th, then I go back to Virginia to help a buddy with a move, then I'm back home for two days before going to Orlando with my husband on a business trip.
It's been a busy time. It always kind of is for me. I am a wander beast.
Here is the speech I refer to with the Shakespeare quote:
@MLClark One of my favorite movies is Good Night and Good Luck. Its about Edward R Murrow, one of the legendary journalists.
"The fault dear Brutus lay not in our stars but in ourselves"
The peril of mass communication, for all its promise is the sensationalization and commoditization of the news.
All hail the 24 hour news cycle.
It was not necessarily better in the old days, but we are definitely in a yellow journalism period as we learn to navigate our changing digital landscape.
