I’m not in the business of weighing in on debates about just where media is headed. Really, the only thing I’d put money on is that old and new media outlets will keep going under for a while now before a new set of workable business models emerge. This juxtaposition in my Reader feed amused me, though:
Here’s what crazy right-wingers, crazy left-wingers, and Sarah Palin have to say today:
From the right, Brookhiser wins the very competitive contest for the most deranged reaction to a picture of Obama bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia:
I wish he had been raised Muslim. Then it would be habit, not baseness.
Meanwhile, Ed Whelan reacts to the Iowa Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage:
The lawless judicial attack on traditional marriage and on representative government continues.
On the left, Bill Keller has an interesting take on how people view the decline of his publication, the New York Times:
Saving the New York Times now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause.
Finally, Sarah Palin responds to the suggestion that Senator Begich should resign and make way for a special election, as it is unclear that he would have been elected if voters had known Ted Stevens’s seven felony convictions would be overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct:
I absolutely agree.
