Speaking Out

From retired Generals to the Pearl Jam, there are so many voices rising in a cacophony to protest. Never before has such a sentiment seemed to bubbling up from the collective unconscious. Every thinking person feels it, that mass of uneasiness, and people are acting on it. It will be interesting to see how this manifests itself in both the artist's project and in the broader public discourse.

My question, then, is the media tone deaf? Why haven't they grabbed on to this and started doing their job? I listened to public radio yesterday and had to endure a diatribe by a conservative pundit. This gentleman went unchallenged. Come on, folks, it's time to speak out.

Absolutely, Greg. The silence is, so far, deafening.
