Orson Scott Card on This Sunday’s Field Guide
Posted by Duane Lester on Oct 27th, 2008 • 220 Clicks

Orson Scott Card will be on the podcast this Sunday discussing his popular article, “Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?” Here’s a taste of what he wrote:

As Thomas Sowell points out in a TownHall.com essay entitled “Do Facts Matter?” (http://snipurl.com/457to): “Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury.”

These are facts. This financial crisis was completely preventable. The party that blocked any attempt to prevent it was … the Democratic Party. The party that tried to prevent it was … the Republican Party.

Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!

What? It’s not the liar, but the victims of the lie who are to blame?

The podcast will start at 8:30 pm Central time and will be live on BlogTalkRadio. Hope to see you there.
