Rich and Right
Planetarium has linked a few times in the past to particularly good essays by the New York Times' media critic Frank Rich, who has really been shining in the past year or so since they granted him full-court-press status. This week's is no different: a short but sweet article entitled "A High-Tech Lynching", which details (with some interesting facts we didn't know yet) the current right-wing paranoiac attack against the Supreme Court and the judicial process in general. Rather than dismissing it as yet another in an endless string of bizarre rightist misplaced-rage whinings, Rich coheres an argument as to the actual real danger these nutsos pose.
