		<description><![CDATA[Last year I read an article called How Doctors Die which I highly recommend you also read. In a nutshell, and as a generalization, Ken Murray MD finds that doctors faced with their own terminal disease seek none of the high level medical interventions they might carry out or recommend to their patients, but rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a very-well-worth-reading Reuters article about the News Corp/News International &#8216;clean up&#8217; over phone-hacking: James [Murdoch] has consistently said that he did not know all the facts when he approved the [£700k] payment [to a hacking victim, soccer union boss Gordon Taylor] despite the revelation by the MSC in December of an email trail that [...]]]></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[Forget (for now) the place of unwanted &#8216;opinion&#8217; in &#8216;news&#8217; (or somewhere near by) — there&#8217;s a bigger issue at stake in modern media &#8230; whether (or not!) to call out politicians and other newsmakers for false statements they make. As noted elsewhere, I am troubled by political activists and proxies masquerading (or fancying themselves) as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is my belief that the writer, the free-lance author, should be and must be a critic of the society in which he lives. It is easy enough, and always profitable, to rail away at national enemies beyond the sea, at foreign powers beyond our borders who question the prevailing order. But the moral duty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reflecting on John Key&#8217;s clearly-scripted talking point before he &#8216;stormed out&#8217; of a media conference yesterday, it seems to me the National Party spin doctors (and lawyers?) will be emphatic that their man Key NOT under any circumstances admit to any &#8216;public interest&#8217; in the cup of tea tapes. Thus, the apparent attempt to smother [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s another (fatal) aspect in which social media reporters, opinionistas, and publishers are catching up with their MSM colleagues — but not in a particularly edifying way.

In a way it was a compliment, because Moore was unquestionably an ideas man — he generated lots of ideas. Ideas spilling over each other.
