The question I always used to ask about these kind of behold-the-plight-of-the-third-world movies is who are they for? The Breadwinner is not for Afghani children. It's not for Afghani adults either.

Took me a while to figure out they're for middle class libs who think watching the right movies makes you a good person.

 

So I lurk a lot, both keep sane during the week, and to pick up some story ideas. I wanted to make this post a while ago and chickened out, but seeing that post about Maddow fawning over Biden's new dog made me want to try with this account again.

US media is absolutely a big-L Liberal institution. But you'd be surprised how many socialists, or socdems at least, write for smaller and mid-size newsrooms. So AMA about trying to be a reporter with leftist views in a decidedly anti-left racket, or about the inner workings of American news outlets that aren't CNN, MSNBC or Fox.
