misnomer: Scripted

March 11, 2003

Scripted

First, I hear that George W. cancelled a speech at the European parliament because they wouldn't guarantee a standing ovation and no protesters, and now there is substantial evidence that his recent and rare news conference was scripted. Not that it's any secret that Ari Fleisher's press briefings are a total joke.

It would be funny, except that it's the most powerful office in the world.

About

Misnomer is a weblog about the politics of new and old media, foreign policy, tech, culture, philosophy, and photography. It is maintained by Dru Oja Jay, who edits a newspaper called the Dominion. He lives in Mile End, a neighbourhood of Montréal, Québec, which is, in some ways, a part of Canada, which in turn subsists on occupied native land to which Canada doesn't actually hold the title. He also travels a lot.

The Dominion

The Dominion is a newspaper with the aim of promoting decent journalism, annoying the overwhelmingly right wing Canadian press, and being non-profit and democratically accountable. All at once. This newspaper also has its own weblog, where I post often.

Others

Some other folks who contribute to misnomer from time to time include Kendall Clark, John Haney, Amanda Jernigan, Ola Mork, and Sylvia Nickerson.
