New Yorker Cover Defense Sparks Heated Discussion
July 17th, 2008
If you haven’t checked out the comments on Monday’s New Yorker Obama cover article, you’re missing out — we’ve been having a hell of a back-and-forth, with several folks disagreeing vehemently with my defense of that little piece of satire and others weighing in in support. Thanks all around! This is what public discourse is all about — the open and honest exchange of ideas. And the great thing about a blog platform is how easy it makes it for readers take part in the fun — collaborative media strikes again.
