Blognotes

I wish this bleepin' blog software had 'categories'. :-( I mean, the software it uses is WordPress which DOES allow for that, yet, in the blogger.com interface it doesn't allow them.

I have decided that obvious media bias is already well covered in the blogosphere. If I have something to say about the really egregarious events, bias and situations that are to be found on many blogs far better than mine, I will say it with a comment to support theirs instead. I'm going to take what blogtime I have to go through articles which to 'general public' readers might seem normal, harmless and unbiased. I want to point out things that apparently are not "apparent" to those who are not already spin-savvy media/politics readers.

Even apolitical Americans can see 'screaming bias' when it exists. You don't have to be a conservative to have eyes in your head. But it takes a little context to observe the more subtle bias and I want to address that. There are many things politicians should be openly called on the carpet about, and they are not because the way they said it isn't as noticeable as the more "on fire" insults that fly in the political arena, so a whole lot 'gets by' that is unfair and shouldn't.

I also am interested in social politics so I will probably blog about gender, race, income, education, childrearing, gardening and my personal life. The blog evolves but since I began it, I think I have been gradually moving into more of what I want to do with it.
