I have a bit of a headache today. But I am looking forward to night out with a group of people who are not parents. No kiddie talk tonight! Also perhaps a chance to play some poker this weekend which would be nice. Oh I watched that guy who hates bloggers last night (see my earlier post) and boy was he one angry dude. I know I linked to some follow up on that, but it also fits nicely with my post the other day about the media. The traditional media reacts to blogs like it is the "wild west" without "ethics", but the traditional media, in my opinion, is pretty bad these days, so I am not sure Blogs (with the exception of this one) look much worse. Facts don't get in the way of either medium (with the exception of this blog of course, which is thoroughly fact checked, or at least usually spell checked) and bias is evident in all forms. I don't believe in the "liberal media bias" or that is to say, I do believe the media as a whole is probably made up of more liberals than conservatives, in the ranks of reporters and editors, but of course the conglomerates that own the are by and large run by conservatives. AND I think the liberals feel a duty to try and be "fair and balanced" and often err on the side of actually being too conservative, especially in regards to not being critical enough of the information they report. If somebody is lying (say the president) you should report that he is lying, not just what he said. The story is not his words, but his actions, his lies. The media rarely does that.
David Cassidy of the Partridge Family was also a solo musician. He was not very good. 1.5 stars.
