Currently Listening
The Imposter
By Kevin Max

I have been reading the book The Gospel According to America - A Meditation on a God-Blessed, Christ-Haunted Idea by David Dark. It is a great book. Here is a paragraph about what journalism should be:

Fred Friendly  ...  believed that his vocation (and that of any news organization) was to provide individuals with information on which they can actually act. What is more, he believed that the storytellers of the media should resist making up people’s minds, or shaping their desires and strive instead to tell it like it is in such a way that the viewer is drawn into the agony of having to make a decision. According to Friendly, the journalists job is “to make the agony of decision-making so intense that you can only escape it by thinking.”

Good quote. I think today's media is less about reporting and more about influencing. In other words, less about details and more about opinions. And I read your blog ALL the time.

Steve - Did you have the 2 Pib's DOUBLE bacon cheesburger?

Stephen - The K-Max album is great. There are at least two songs with the imposter theme from Abba's Child.

regular cheeseburger. Might try the double next time, but wasn't too terribly hungry at the time.
