Where is the Washington Post When we Need IT?

The Washington Post busy basking in the glory of the past is missing huge stories under its nose because they don't fit the agenda.

Nazism?

I never quite understood why Nazis are referred to as right wing, after all the term stands for national socialist party, and socialism is a left wing ideology.  I understand that the racist aspects of nazism make them right wing but their economic philosophy is definitely left wing, which makes the referenced article very interesting and shows I am not the only one confused.

The stupidity of the media on display!

If it is true that the media is its own worst enemy here is an example of why - "MSNBC Analyst Says Its Unfortunate Voters Shape Public Policy."  In other words in her opinion it would be better if the media shaped Public Policy, because American voters cannot be trusted to fully understand the complexities of the modern day world.  The media must select which "news stories" are presented to the public and explain those selected stories in a way that they can comprehend.  It is a short jog from this view to oligarchy.
