I'm not sure what to add to Siva's post criticizing Jonah Goldberg's mocking remarks about the flooding in New Orleans, except chime in and say that they're appalling.
I can understand wanting a little levity at this time, but Goldberg should have spent some time at catsinsinks.com rather than parody the Malthusian tragedy we're seeing right now. I agree with Siva that Goldberg certainly doesn't belong as a commentator on NPR, so I'm drafting a letter to the network right now. Although Fox News' business success has had some influence, the main reason the corporate media has drifted toward the right is the ability of organized letter-writing campaigns to get the attention of media producers. If liberals, leftists, and progressives want to counter this phenomenon, we need to start writing our own letters.
