What The Decade Has Wrought – The 24 Hour Opinion Cycle

Media

We hear the phrase “24 hour news cycle” an awful lot, but in reality we don’t have a 24 hour news cycle. Instead this decade has seen a 24 hour news cycle evolve into a 24 hour opinion cycle. Take the case of my previous post of Mary Matalin claiming that Bush inherited 9/11 and […]
