[csaa-forum] Re: but wait, it just keeps going on and on

[Charles Fairchild]

I think it would be interesting for the more public amongst the cultural studies
people to produce a public argument about the kinds of critiques rags like the
Australian produce. The problem is, what forum could possibly be regarded as
even remotely fair? The Aus. has a pretty explicit agenda: smash all opponents
unreservedly. Would any counter argument that might even find space in such a
canary-cage-ready publication receive anything that might ever resemble a fair
hearing? The right is all for fairness and liberal education, when their
compatriots are on the soapbox or at the lectern. After they are done bleating,
they like to take their sturdy box or ear-splitting megaphone and go home. (Big
babies.)
