History and Media Bias
A great read from Oxblog. Check out the whole thing.
OxBlog: "
By the same token, a quagmire is what journalists honestly saw ten days into the invasion of Iraq and continued to see thereafter. If such journalists were more aware of their own history, however, they might developer a sharper eye for the direction of current events."
And that, my friends, is why one should study history. (Full disclosure: I'm concentrating in history. [Chicago just changed it's time-honored term concentration to the word 'major'. I hope they fix their mistake, because it certainly is a large one. Chicago seems to be drifting without direction...I'll write more on this later])
