A Million Little Priorities
Does anyone else find it disheartening that CNN spent two hours last night beating the James Frey/Oprah/Million Little Pieces hullabaloo to death http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/books/01/27/oprah.frey/ before finally getting to the story about Hamas winning the elections in Palestine?

I find it more disheartening that our society chooses to remove truth from an empirical frame and view it instead through a subjective lens. It may be harmlessly applied in some cases, such as “no, honey, that tie doesn’t make your neck look fat.” But we see more and more glaring examples of our decision to look truth in the chin rather than the eye. If not Oprah, then whom?
