We have Stone Age emotions. We have medieval institutions — most notably, the churches. And we have god-like technology. And this god-like technology is dragging us forward in ways that are totally unpredictable. ~ EDWARD O. WILSON
There have been a fair number of explanations for why the mainstream media screwed up Iraq war coverage so completely, but Michael Hastings does them all one better: Supporting the war was a smart career move.Photograph by STR/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images
Shaun Mullen was born to blog. It just took a few years for the medium to catch up to the messenger. Over a long career with newspapers, this award-winning editor and reporter covered the Vietnam War, O.J. Simpson trials, Clinton impeachment circus and coming of Osama bin Laden, among many other big stories. Mullen also mentored reporters who went on to be the best in the newspaper and television business, including two who won Pulitzer Prizes in 2010. He is the author of "The Bottom of the Fox: A True Story of Love, Devotion & Cold-Blooded Murder" and the forthcoming "Brothers At Arms." His next book will be "There's A House In The Land," a tale of the 1970s.
