I wrote a letter to the liberal Tucson weekly rag, The Tucson Weekly:
Hello,
I’m a political moderate. It’s hard work. I have to read every story twice (once in a non-angry liberal source and one in a non-delusional conservative source, both of which are hard to find), and spend six hours using my complex algorithms to figure out where the truth (might) be.
And that’s just for Lindsay Lohan’s rehab stint.
So I think it would be an interesting challenge to see a very good, liberal weekly magazine/paper (that would be the Weekly) publish a story about the good things that Bush has done. There has to be something that either Bush or Cheney did in the last 7 years that wasn’t a total disaster… right?
I also want to have a conservative paper do the flip-side: what Bush has done wrong. Unfortunately, I’m not sure who to ask. I’m also not sure they’ll be willing to have a 300-page issue of a magazine. Do you have any suggestions which conservative paper to write? FOX sent a squad of angry geriatrics to my house and put me on their ‘list.’ I am not sure what that means, but if I disappear I’ve left instructions to my friends to email you.
Cheers,
Steve McMackin
P.S. It would be nice to get a response,
even if it’s, “no, we couldn’t figure out how
to format a six-word story.”Labels: media, politics, random |
