What happens to a writer's notes in cyberspace? - Joelle Biele in the November-December issue of The American Poetry Review offers a fascinating examination of the papers of poet Elizabeth Bishop.

Will CNN's Reporters Miss the Great Fulminator? - Everyone who appeared on that show was tarnished by his use of his guests as stalking horses for his preconceptions.

Do Americans really want to be bothered with the facts? - Of all the things Americans are hectored into taking to heart "patriotism, low taxes, Ayn Rand, trickle-down economics, etc "one thing remains conspicuous for its absence: ignorance.

Palast Shows Us What Good Journalism Might Look Like - Without troublemakers like Greg Palast we're left to wallow in our own ignorance. Take his most recent article in Zeek. What are we doing in Iraq and Afghanistan, he asks, when it was Saudi Arabians who attacked us in 2001?

News is Presented with No Narrative Thread - Compartmentalized news makes it hard to see the big picture. Example: the cost of sending 30 or 40 thousand more troops to Afghanistan directly impacts our ability to improve health care, but the press ignores the interrelatedness of news in areas "war, health care reform, education "where taxes must fund what the taxpayers want but are unwilling to pay for.
