Default Media Circus and their Rage Boy!

Michael Totten has a nice post about media and their misrepresentation of the Middle East. He quoted Christopher Hitchens as well who wrote about Rushdies' Knighthood and the impossibility of satisefying Rage Boy.

Cameras don’t lie. But sometimes they do. They conceal as well as reveal.

Wait a second now, the entire Middle East isn't roiling with hatred of the Western World? And here I thought there was more than a billion lunatics over there.

I'm not going to be happy if I can't get a refund on my ticket to The Clash of Civilizations.

Its probably easier for the media to stereotype the whole region rather than reporting stuff properly.

Very interesting. I suggest you follow a link there to Dan Simmons site where he offers up his four options regarding the US intervention in Iraq. Very good reading from a favorite author of mine.
