'Bottom-up' journalism from the pros
Dec 20, 2002 - (Last
week's weblog)
Could Lott change his stripes? If Mr. Lott,
after the loss of his leadership post, is still serious about working
on race issues, perhaps he's the one who needs to switch parties. It's
hard to imagine him pressing affirmative action as a Republican -- or
having much influence on the party at all any more.
And he probably isn't feeling friendly toward those colleagues who forced
him to walk the plank.
But as a Democrat, he might find a fresh start as a Southerner in the
mold of Lyndon Johnson, building a legacy on civil rights.
Stranger things have happened.

Politics on Dec. 13,
"Our Jonathan Karl reports that the former president offered
this line at a benefit last night at the Robert Kennedy Memorial ....
"When Robert Kennedy ran for president, we supported him. We're
proud of it. And if he had lived and been elected, we wouldn't have
had all these problems over all these years."

Not
your father's antiwar movement: Ellen Goodman, writing
in yesterday's Boston Globe,
Maybe we shouldn't be asking why protesters haven't taken to the streets.
Maybe what's remarkable is that despite the lopsided nature of the debate,
a private reluctance has taken root in homes and offices. A silent majority
of Americans don't yet believe that war is justified.
Maybe it's not the silence that's a surprise, but the majority.

Cities
Say No to Federal Snooping: Wired reports,
Fearing that the Patriot Act will curtail Americans' civil rights,
municipalities across the country are passing resolutions to repudiate
the legislation and protect their residents from a perceived abuse of
authority by the federal government.
On Tuesday, Oakland (Calif.) became the 20th municipality to pass
a resolution barring its employees -- from police officer to librarian
-- from collaborating with federal officials who may try to use their
new power to investigate city residents.

A nationwide Los Angeles Times survey, released Tuesday, found that
while a majority would still support a ground attack on Iraq, 72 percent
said Bush has not provided enough evidence to justify a war.
Only 22 percent agreed that errors or omissions in the Iraqi weapons
declaration alone would be enough to justify war, with most saying they
wanted to see a pattern of Iraqi violations.
Truth is a virus: This wonderful bit of
doggerel has been spreading via email and blogs, unfortunately without
a credit, but it appeared on an interesting site called NewsPoetry.com
on Nov. 1, attributed
to Barbara Geist Harms.
We wonder if she was perhaps inspired by an
item on Tom Tomorrow's blog in September.
It will probably stick in your head all day.
Sung to the tune of If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands.
(Here's a midi file of the
tune to sing it with.)
Bomb Iraq
If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi
And the bank takes back your Audi
And the TV shows are bawdy, Bomb Iraq.
If the corporate scandals growin', bomb Iraq.
And your ties to them are showin', bomb Iraq.
If the smoking gun ain't smokin'
We don't care, and we're not jokin'.
That Saddam will soon be croakin', Bomb Iraq.
Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq.
From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections;
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions, Bomb Iraq.
While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq.
Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq.
If the ozone hole is growing,
Some things we prefer not knowing.
(Though our ignorance is showing), Bomb Iraq.
So here's one for dear old daddy, bomb Iraq,
From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq.
Saying no would look like treason.
It's the Hussein hunting season.
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

Gannett
May Launch A Cable News Channel: The Washington Post reports,
Gannett Co. is talking with major cable companies to launch a nationwide
cable television network that would carry its local news broadcasts,
expanding the company's media empire beyond newspapers and television
stations.
America Today, as the channel would be called, would repackage the
local news generated at Gannett's 22 television stations across the
country (including WUSA, Channel 9, in Washington) and aim it at travelers
across the United States eager for news from home.
The system would work on a grid, much like CNN Headline News, so that
news from the Chicago station, for example, would appear at the same
time every day, Ogden said. (That's Roger Ogden, senior vice president
of Gannett's television division. )

Extreme politics: At the very end of Josh
Benson's piece in the New York Observer headlined Now
Pitching For Democrats: Hillary Clinton is a characterization of the
left vs. the right that, if accurate, would make me want to join a Normal
People's Party.
The context was a fund-raiser at which Clinton urged Democrats "to
follow the example of conservative strategist Grover Norquist, whose weekly
strategy sessions, she said, produced material for right-leaning commentators
such as Fox personalities Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly."
Norquist's reaction:
"When I put together 115 people at our Wednesday meeting, we
have the gun people and the tax people and the home-schoolers and the
various communities of faith, and everyone just wants to be left alone.
So we can be friends, because as long as the Christians don’t
steal anyone’s guns, and the property owners don’t throw
condoms at the Christians’ kids, we can all be friends. Our coalition
doesn’t want anything at anyone’s expense.
"The left," Mr. Norquist continued, "is a collection
of competing parasites: the labor unions, the trial lawyers, the big-city
political machines, the people who are locked into welfare dependency
…. They are not friends; they are competitors for divvying up
the assets that the state organizes. They’ll never be able to
work together as cheerfully as we do."
I wonder where the soccer moms belong, the kids who work in the donut
shop across the street here, and the man I saw pounding a "No War
In Iraq" sign into the lawn of his big Victorian house on East Ave.
in Pawtucket Sunday morning.

Q&A
with PBS Online News Hour: I'm late with this one, but JD Lasica
blogged his recent interview with PBS' Online NewsHour. "Because
it's not certain whether they'll be doing a story or posting a report,
I thought I'd post the interview here," he writes.
He discusses the relationship of blogging to journalism, among other
topics and (so you don't wonder why I didn't mention it when you read
the entire interview) he mentions me:
A handful of professional journalists have taken up the form, such
as Dan
Gillmor of the San Jose Mercury News, Sheila
Lennon of the Providence Journal and Eric
Alterman of MSNBC.
There are others of course -- some of them on JD's
own blogroll, and others listed at cyberjournalist.net.
Very cool:
You don't need to write or work for a professional publication with
a slick million-dollar Web site to be an online journalist. All you
need is a computer, Internet connection, and an eye for the truth. A
journalist is anyone who is an eyewitness to or interpreter of important
events and who reports it as honestly and accurately as possible. Period.
Go see what Lasica, senior editor at Online
Journalism Review, thinks the future looks like.

Telepathic
journalism: That same Eric Alterman, writing in The
American Prospect, tears into Bob Woodward in a review of his latest
book, Bush At War, available Dec. 30.
It was 3 p.m. when the phone rang. "Ring, ring, ring." It
was the same sound it usually made, but this time with a difference.
The nation was at war. And Bob Woodward had a new book out about it.
So when the editor asked the reviewer to review the new Bob Woodward
book about the war, the reviewer thought to himself: "I'm thinking
to myself, 'No one is here but me to hear these thoughts and no one
ever will. Still, they are brave thoughts, heroic thoughts. Too bad
that no one will ever know of them. Well, no one but God. Well, God
and perhaps a 'journalist' who, by common accord, has been granted a
special, professional dispensation from all known rules of sourcing
and attribution.' "

Netscape kills pop-ups: The Register (U.K.) version of the story:
AOL Time Warner has released a new version of Netscape that allows
users to suppress pop-up ads, one of the most hated ad formats.
The fact that Internet users will now be able to configure their Netscape
7.01 browsers to prevent the appearance of pop-up ads on their screens
means that the advertising format's current popularity could be diminished
among Web-advertisers, who claim that it is one of the most effective
on-line ad tools.
Mozilla, the open source
version bolstered by Netscape developers, has had this since the beginning,
of course.
Related: Layoffs at Netscape reached some members of the Mozilla
team. As part of their severance package, departing employees were given
a CD with 1000 free hours of AOL.

Tax feedback: In response to Monday's
link to Jonathan Weisman's Washington Post story, "New
Tax Plan May Bring Shift In Burden: Poor Could Pay A Bigger Share,
" reader Warrington Faust of Attleboro, Mass., writes,
While I understand that the idea that the more you make, the more
you should pay is part of a "Fair" tax plan. Although this
view is widely accepted, I have never seen any explanation of why that
is so. It sounds peculiarly like the famous Communist Credo "From
each according to his ability, to each according to their need".
Communism has not proved to be wildly successful.
Laudatory comments about the morality of "stealing from the rich,
to give to the poor" is the reason I discouraged my children from
reading Robin Hood. Now we have a "Robin Hood" system of taxation
which must assume that the "rich" are bad and seems to have
at its base a desire to "soak the rich". It seems to me that
our tax system is founded on the most base of emotions, the desire to
have someone else pay for your pleasures.
It seems to me that if a family had a relative who blatantly suggested
that since other family members made more than he, they were obligated
to provide for him would be shunned. Such a reaction is, I think, a
reasonable reading of human nature. However, when the remove is greater
and taxpayers are levied upon to fund the desires of unknown recipients,
this is seen as different in kind. There may be a difference, but it
is not distinct to me.
I think that tax simplification is long overdue. The current system
with its middle class loopholes for mortgage interest, personal exemptions,
dependency deductions, etc., simply leads people to order their lives
around the tax code. What rational person would believe that there is
"tax sense" in taking a second mortgage on ones house to purchase
a car. Imagine, the Tax Code encourages people to put a second mortgage
on the family manse in order to buy a car.
I encourage further consideration of a flat tax. Why, because it would
free us of the social engineering aspects of the Tax Code. We could
then spend our money according to our desires, without having to consider
what is desirable in light of the tax structure.
Publishable comments,
anyone?

GI
Janes flaunt sports bras before searching Pakistani women:
Jan McGirk, reporting for the Independent (U.K.) in Peshawar,
Janula Hashim Khan is usually rather bored by my attempts to make polite
conversation, but he suddenly comes to life, eyes ablaze. "Yes,
I know the photo. It's a disgrace to see our sisters and mothers mauled
like that," he says. To my amazement, he pulls a carefully folded
newspaper clipping out of his wallet. "Is this the one you mean?"
The picture shows an Afghan woman being subjected to a body search
by an American soldier.
The photo had provoked weeks of venomous letters to the editor condemning
this practice. The same shot had been blown up and used for the Yank-bashing
election campaign that swept the clerics into unprecedented power in
the provinces closest to the Afghan border. To most Pakistanis and Afghans,
this photo is hyper-offensive, showing a demure Islamic beauty disrespected
by an American brute.
The latent feminist in me cannot be stifled. There is some potent propaganda
to be countered. "Look a little closer," I said. "That
is a woman soldier who is patting the Afghan lady down."
"Impossible," all the Muslim men in the room say in unison.
The masculine ambience of this frontier city near the Khyber Pass is
so pervasive that, at least in a warlord's antechamber, a female soldier
is utterly inconceivable, even if you have a picture of her in front
of you...

DMCA
test: Jury finds ElcomSoft not guilty
SAN JOSE, Calif.--A jury on Tuesday found a Russian software company
not guilty of criminal copyright charges for producing a program that
can crack antipiracy protections on electronic books.
The case against ElcomSoft is considered a crucial test of the criminal
provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a controversial
law designed to extend copyright protections into the digital age.
The company faced four charges related to directly designing and marketing
software that could be used to crack eBook copyright protections, plus
an additional charge related to conspiring to do so.
Jury foreman Dennis Strader said the jurors agreed ElcomSoft's product
was illegal but acquitted the company because they believed the company
didn't mean to violate the law.
"We didn't understand why a million-dollar company would put on
their Web page an illegal thing that would (ruin) their whole business
if they were caught," he said in an interview after the verdict.
Strader added that the panel found the DMCA itself confusing, making
it easy for jurors to believe that executives from Russia might not
fully understand it.

New
Premise in Science: Get the Word Out Quickly, Online. NYT
(reg.req.) reports,
A group of prominent scientists is mounting an electronic challenge
to the leading scientific journals, accusing them of holding back the
progress of science by restricting online access to their articles so
they can reap higher profits.
Supported by a $9 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation,
the scientists say that this week they will announce the creation of
two peer-reviewed online journals on biology and medicine, with the
goal of cornering the best scientific papers and immediately depositing
them in the public domain.
By providing a highly visible alternative to what they view as an outmoded
system of distributing information, the founders hope science itself
will be transformed. The two journals are the first of what they envision
as a vast electronic library in which no one has to pay dues or seek
permission to read, copy or use the collective product of the world's
academic research.
Interesting parallel to the struggle between releasing and monetizing
information that other forms of publishing are wrestling with now.

Animal
Activist Finds Himself in Rat's Nest of Legal Trouble
* He is accused of feeding vitamins to rodents to counter the poison that
the U.S. is using to kill the nonnative animals (in the Channel Islands)..
He could go to prison.
A bus driver and environmental activist from Santa Barbara, Puddicombe
is an uncommon crusader with an unusual obsession -- saving the black
rats of the Channel Islands. He is accused of sailing a 10-foot inflatable
boat last year across the channel to Anacapa Island, which actually
is three small islands, to distribute pellets containing vitamin K to
the rat population.
... Puddicombe believes that park rangers have no right to choose which
animals should live and which should die.
"It's a topsy-turvy world when poisoning wildlife from helicopters
is a good thing and feeding wildlife is a crime," he said. "As
far as I'm concerned, this is like ethnic cleansing; it's a jihad against
nonnative species."
"I love underdogs, and rodents are the underdogs of the animal
kingdom," he added. "A mouse or rat is just as valuable as
an elephant. It's just as smart and has the same feelings."

US
public-relations authorities turn Radio Free Iran into Casey Kasem:
From the Washingon Post,
After an Iranian court sentenced the reformist academic Hashem Aghajari
to death last month, the largest and most sustained student demonstrations
in years erupted in Tehran. As they grew, day after day, U.S.-operated
Radio Azadi, or "Radio Freedom," was their favorite medium.
Every day, student leaders would call by cell phone from the roiling
campuses to the radio's headquarters in Prague and narrate the latest
developments live. Each night the radio would broadcast a roundtable
discussion, patching together students and journalists in Tehran with
exiled opposition leaders to discuss where the reform movement was going.
So instrumental to the rebellion-in-the-making did the radio become
that pro-regime counter-demonstrators recently held up a placard reading
"Who does Radio Azadi talk to?" -- a taunt taken by the station's
staff as a badge of honor.
The protest movement, now five weeks old, rolls on, spreading from
students to workers and from Tehran to other cities. Some see parallels
to the popular movements that overthrew the Communist regimes of Europe
in 1989 -- with a big dose of help from U.S.-sponsored Radio Free Europe.
In this case, however, the tottering dictatorship has gotten a big break:
Two weeks ago, Radio Freedom abruptly disappeared from the air. Iranians
were no longer able to hear firsthand reports of the protests or the
nightly think tanks about their country's future. Instead, after two
weeks of virtual silence, the broadcasts are being replaced this week
with tunes from Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston and other soft-rockers.
How did the mullahs pull off this well-timed lobotomy? They didn't:
The U.S. government, in the form of the Broadcasting Board of Governors,
did it. In an act that mixes Hollywood arrogance with astounding ignorance
of Iranian reality, the board has silenced the most effective opposition
radio station in Iran at a time of unprecedented ferment. In its place,
at three times the expense, the United States now will supply Iran's
revolutionary students with a diet of pop music -- on the theory that
this better advances U.S. interests. via Phil

New
Tax Plan May Bring Shift In Burden: Poor Could Pay A Bigger Share.
Jonathan Weisman writes in the Washington Post,
As the Bush administration draws up plans to simplify the tax system,
it is also refining arguments for why it may be necessary to shift more
of the tax load onto lower-income workers.
Economists at the Treasury Department are drafting new ways to calculate
the distribution of tax burdens among different income classes, which
are expected to highlight what administration officials see as a rising
tax burden on the rich and a declining burden on the poor. The White
House Council of Economic Advisers is also preparing a report detailing
the concentration of the tax burden on the affluent and highlighting
problems with the way tax burdens are calculated for the poor.
They're apparently not going to consider the 12.4 percent Social Security
deduction as taxes, with outgoing White House economic adviser Lawrence
B. Lindsey describing them as "A Christmas Club" that you get
back.
Could we make annual attendance at A Christmas Carol mandatory
for economic theorists?
