Notably: It’s been curiously foul–as so much of the one-sided reporting on the Dresdening of Gaza has been–to notice the absence of fighting words from headlines describing the Israeli assault on Gaza. You won;t read the words “assaults,” “attack,” not even “invasion” (even though Netanyahu used the word on Saturday to describe the attack). The New York Times went with quoting Netanyahu, and mentioning him in its lead, two-column headline: “War Has Entered Its Second Stage,’ Netanyahu States.” The Toronto Star went with the same staging of “Second Stage,” again, as if it were the launching of a space rocket or a new development phase in a subdivision. The Los Angeles Times was precious: “Outrage over security failures, but war buys Netanyahu time.” Good for him. I was worried. The LATimes also features Netanyahu in a Putinesque pose, with a flack jacket, among troops. The paper does mention a massacre (“Forgotten massacre…” but it’s a story about Native Americans. Forgotten indeed. The Orlando Sentinel was a bit more direct, if still underplaying the gravity of the assault: “Israel steps up bombardment.” The Sunday edition of the Arizona Republic didn’t think it necessary to mention Gaza at all on its front page, though it mentioned “Life with Lennon, Ono” and previewed a state supreme court drug case. You have to go across the ocean, to The Guardian, for more precision, and uses of those more accurate words: “Israel intensifies assault and severs Gaza communications.” Maybe tomorrow the  American headlines can focus on what comfort food Netanyahu is eating in such stressful times, poor soul.

We have reached, I believe, a critical mass in that electronic media have decisively and irreversibly changed the character of our symbolic environment. We are now a culture whose information, ideas and epistemology are given form by television, not by the printed word. To be sure, there are still readers and there are many books published, but the uses of print and reading are not the same as they once were; not even in schools, the last institutions where print was thought to be invincible. They delude themselves who believe that television and print coexist, for coexistence implies parity. There is no parity here. Print is now merely a residual epistemology, and it will remain so, aided to some extent by the computer, and newspapers and magazines that are made to look like television screens. Like the fish who survive a toxic river and the boatmen who sail on it, there still dwell among us those whose sense of things is largely influenced by older and clearer waters.

–From Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985).

    When polls show that 80% of Americans want to ban machine guns, and neither Republicans or Democrats seem to be able to respect Americans’ wishes, it shows me that the NRA and its lobbyists are in charge. Our representatives are deaf to our pleas. The NRA give them the financial support to run for office, and the American public seems to forget at voting time. They vote for the roadside signs and flyers stuffed in their mailboxes.

    “Our thoughts and prayers…” Our new norm.
