A really interesting look at the Dean phenomenon from a NYU journalism school piece. Link courtesy of Terpsboy. One of the things discussed is the "up from the bottom" issues being brought forth via the internet. It's "up from the bottom" anti-Semitism from the Academic Left, the socialism from the socialists, the naked hate, and so on that is scaring the shit out of everybody. Also a sharp look at the journalistic hit men shooting at a target that isn't there any more. Anyway a long but very interesting piece.
