>whatever the social effects of talk radio or the partisan agendas of certain hosts, it is a fallacy that political talk radio is motivated by ideology. It is not. Political talk radio is a business, and it is motivated by revenue. —DFW, "Host"
Has our Meme Supreme surpassed ideology itself?

>posting tautologies as if they were anyones original thought
>>7443281
Either you don't know the definition of "tautology" or you had a _very_ different reading of that article than I did...

in a capitalist culture, saying that career-political commentators and the structure that supports and disseminates them are motivated by profit and not politics is banal to the point of tautology.

Oh tautology more in the logic department. Strange that though people know this it's largely accepted.
>>7443460
This desu
It's like saying the same of doctors and scientists (well some doctors only do it for the money but there are ton that do it because it's considered one of the few morally good positions by almost all of society)
>>7442993
He's right. Kind of obvious
>>7443460
fair enough, I was referring to syntactical tautology (conflating "ann coulter" and "phenomenon")
>>7442993
Read the same essay, but it's less true today with Blog Talk Radio and pure ideology and so on then it was when David wrote it back in the time of OJ Simpson.
David would despair over modern people making ideology their identity, like we see now.
