Conservative blogger Mark Finkelstein has his own Public Access show called Right Angle in Ithaca, which basically seems like a paradox. Conservatism in Ithaca? But yesterday Finkelstein brought up an interesting topic. In one of the latest editions of the Ithaca Times, Right Angle was named one of the best public television shows in Ithaca. Though this may bring some laughs from others, I was quite pleased. To me, it shows that even if viewers identify themselves as being "liberal," they are not just receiving their news from media outlets that they politically agree with. Whether or not Ithacans are listening to Finkelstein because they agree with him or want a good laugh, they are still giving his views some consideration.
On a similar note, that is why I admire Jeremy Scahill. Unlike other writers, he is able to get away from the "conservative" or "liberal" stereotypes and write about what he actually sees.
