Perspectives

Oxblog’s David Adesnik expands on my post yesterday by comparing in more detail coverage on the Iraq vote by the New York Times and the Washington Post (here, here, here, and here)

Quips Adesnik, “I guess the answer to my confusion is obvious: only read one newspaper, and then the world will seem like a much more orderly and rational place.”

    It would be an intersting experiment. Turn off the TV and the blogs for seven days and only read the NYT or the Washington post. Then come back and figure out how much of what you “know” about that period is wrong.

    No thanks.  I’m depressed enough as it is.

    That would be a very interesting experiment, you gotta admit. 

    I emailed some friends a Windsofchange.net round-up of the news surrounding the Islamic rebel attacks in Russia earlier this week, and a friend of mine was surprised as he hadn’t heard anything at all about it.  The front page of the WaPo website was about Karl Rove, while the NYT helpfully pointed out ways Zarqawi’s social club could derail the elections.
