Here we go:
:: What I don’t really get is when people complain about what’s on TV nowadays as if TV was somehow better in the past. (It’s called “Remembering the hits and forgetting the misses”. I’m always deeply suspicious of claims as to how much greater things were in any field “way back when”.)
And that’s all for this week.
By the way, Sentential Links will not be appearing next Monday or the Monday after, for those days are Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve respectively. We’ll be linkin’ stuff again in three weeks.
Thank you! I particularly loved the awkward christmas card and Alex’s revelation about a friend. You gather some really excellent links on here.
I’ll make the case, though, that TV news WAS better in the old days in terms of playing the adversarial fourth estate. Sure there are some documentaries out there now , and some good ones, but the percentage is WAY down compared with the possibilities. People are more concerned about Jamie Lynn Spears being pregnant because, often, that’s what they’ve been fed.
