3/08/10 •
Day has dawned and both sides swerved to avoid a collision in the game of corporate media chicken that I wrote about yesterday.

A few days after putting up The Falcon’s piece on America’s rabid desire to view and present death and destruction for fun and profit, a Wall Street Journal news alert hit my in box with the following info:
