Contemporary opinionated news commentary seems to have a few
basic narratives through which it funnels every news story. What I mean by opinionated news commentary
are the political pundits who report, analyze and interpret current events with
an acknowledged subjective perspective this could include everyone from Rachel
Madow to Rush Limbaugh.
These basic narratives are:
·
Originating impulses are being ignored. The yearnings that made the hearts of the
founders of our country beat are codified into a catalogue of national values—freedom,
justice, prosperity, domestic peace.
These yearnings are being jeopardized by neglect or outright and
deliberate attack.
·
Basic freedoms are being threatened.
·
Unquestioned moral principles are being
violated.
·
Essential duties are being neglected.
·
Economic prosperity is being gambled.
