The Peter Principle

"I do believe that gladiator TV is headed toward inciting violence. The pundits, the politicians and particularly those who govern the 24/7 cable news channels have a responsibility to tone it down, to pull back, to become more civil.  America deserves it. Let’s not have an act of unspeakable violence before we ratchet down our rhetoric."  Peter Fenn Politico

I'm afraid the bus has already left the station, Peter.  And do you really believe an "act of unspeakable violence" would "ratchet down" the "rhetoric?" It would inflame it before the Almighty God of Ratings.


Why did you accompany your Peter Principle with a Glenn Beck photo?  Why is it that after years of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's Howard Beale nightly performance it is now Fox's Beck triggering your call to "cool it?'

Beck has been on Fox's airwaves since January 21, 2009 - not even nine months.  Olbermann has dominated MSNBC's stable of blowhards since 2003.

  1. Watch it Keith. Beck can probably get your girl a better job than chasing tornadoes.
