Fresh Old Media Talk →
I’m a big fan of David Carr, the critic, not the quarterback.

Alright you rebels, redeemers and believers out there,
At the height of the global uprisings in 1968, protesters confidently heralded “The Beginning of a New Epoch.” To this bravado, Zbigniew Brzezinski, then the national security advisor to the president of the United States, retorted that the protests were nothing but “the death rattle of the...
