Review of Just the Facts Please, OKthx

Chase Clyde is a bit of a speed reader, but his critique of media coverage of the war in Iraq is well-informed and pointed. Clyde presents a litany of facts about the justification for the war that are unfortunately still not discussed in mainstream news coverage of the war. The cheeky tone made me chuckle. If this was a little shorter, I'd rate it even higher.

Review of Just the Facts Please, OKthx

So how well informed are Americans? Um, not very, and the choice of media might be to blame. *cough* Fox News Channel *cough* Chase is very opinionated and passionate, and I love his writing. It’s refreshing to hear someone express himself so freely. He’s not another one of your liberal friends ranting about why the Democrats lost the election. I love his sense of humor and the catchy beat sometimes playing in the background. The first two minutes of the piece are a bit unclear, though. He speaks too quickly and some of his words end up getting slurred together. But afterwards, it feels like Chase gets more confidence and energy and really comes out. I’d love to hear more of his pieces.
