Doyle; D'oh. I still think though Sandwichman is right, Moyers and Clark are really not in the same game. I think we can discuss mainstream nuance quite a bit to good effect. That tells a lot about what the narrow boundaries are in so-called public culture. Clark says quite a bit about how outside that bubble of public display, on the left there is a heterodox ground of different views as well. Both these guys are sixties left overs too. What they have in common is a famous name which I think is dissolving in the online culture. Online it is the blogger that matters and Clark is invisible. Moyers is old media through and through. He had ole man Rather going on in anchor fashion about what's the reason the sun comes up. One gets from the online world this sort of talk is not what people want. So the liberal media paradigm is fading away like the wicked witch in the puddle of water. In other words class divisions, polarization and partisan politics is on the rise. The opposite of the Liberal reasoned debate where you can expose the lies genteel fashion and the voter will throw the crooks out. Doyle
