Talk Radio vs. Print Media

Letter to Newsweek Magazine

Dear editor:

In his story on the political situation in America today, “The Closing of the American Mind,” (Dec. 31/Jan. 7) Evan Thomas points out the major differences between the two political parties and how it has caused a complete breakdown in cooperation between the Democratic controlled Congress, their Republican counterparts and the Executive Branch. He points out that this antagonism is quite often fueled by conservative commentators on talk radio and liberal editorialists in the print media. Perhaps this points out the fact that Democrats, unlike their Republican opposites, are able to read and write.
