- tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors takes on the Sisyphean task of whipping mainstream media into actual journalism. This time he goes after Politico for an amazing quantity of anonymously sourced quotes in a single report. The story has to do with Donald Trump’s poor fundraising, but lazy journalism itself has become ubiquitous.
- About the time Donald Trump was gracing the world by being born, the great sports writer Red Smith answered a question about writing with a bit of sarcasm. It is easy, he said. “You just sit at your typewriter until little drops of blood appear on your forehead.”
Vincent at A wayfarer’s notes has no use for blood beads. “Writing is not easy. The trouble is, I’m too full of ideas,” he laments his sad fate.
Oh, for the love of God, Vincent! The opulent man sits before the starving, at his very own table of plenty, crying out in panic about so much to eat and so little time.
Vincent not only writes, he writes well. In this case, he delves into the advice of the talented and famous, finally ending his rich and layered self-examination, deciding to stop waiting for the right moment and just go ahead and write. As always with wit, elegance, and insight, he makes it look easy. As always, he is well worth reading.
For all of which I struggle to forgive him.
