		<description><![CDATA[I generally like business writer Fran O&#8217;Sullivan&#8217;s work, which can be wide-ranging and interesting and often evinces a robust, seen-it-all-before, how-stupid-do-they-think-we-are? tone. Fran doesn&#8217;t often mince words (except for when she does) and she gets points in my book for taking a position, and saying what she thinks — or how the landscape looks from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve referred to spin doctor Matthew Hooton before — I positively delight in the shabby transparency of his gums-for-hire faux agitprop and the way he marshals an argument. He&#8217;s almost always accessible, usually very much in control of himself, except when overtaken by passion or appetite of some sort, and well, I find him just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve talked before about my distinction (not just mine!) between being &#8216;impartial&#8216; (or big O objective) versus being FAIR — which I (naively?) primarily define as telling the truth. Some partisans (who shall remain charitably nameless lest we upset their finely-balanced narcotic calm) seem to me to frequently stoop to spinning half-truths or outright lies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the upset win in South Carolina, TIME magazine on Newt Gingrinch&#8217;s strategy: For Gingrich, this was not just a victory but also a validation. When his staff ditched him last summer amid an imbroglio over the campaign’s direction, Gingrich committed to running a lean, nimble operation that relied heavily on free media (he had [...]]]></description>

So what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Predictable comments after the MMP referendum result, I guess. What caught my eye about this piece from Radio New Zealand is that it&#8217;s basically a platform for Jordan Williams to kvetch about how unfair it all was. His point, shared by his rabbit shooting buddies, appears to be that the anti-MMP debate was &#8216;lost&#8217; because [...]]]></description>
