Jack Bauer Saves America: Takes Out Markos Moulitsas

Posted on by | 1 Reply

Driven to desperation by the actions of the vicious terrorist Markos Moulitsas, often likened to the infamous death panel inventor, Carlos the Jackal, agent Jack Bauer rigs up an explosive "Uber Rendition Vest (URV)," as ordered by his CTU Commander, Liz Cheney. 

 

Immediately after photo was taken, Bauer triggers the URV, and tosses Satan into some sort of pressure chamber, and the actual rendering begins.

 

The result was not a pretty picture…

Who Says: Narrative Authority In a Fragmented World

Jay Rosen tweeted this seminal post by Megan Garber, articulating what the web and digital media are doing to authority memes and journalism's role in this bizarre new world.

Since the need to manage the tangled and competing taxonomic hierarchies of such a Narrative Big Brother has been my professional fascination for years, I couldn't help but notice.  

I think it's required reading for every journalist, citizen, media theorist, media guru, social media consultant, politician, educator, and student. Ok, ok….make that everyone that can fucking read.

Transparency needs to be about fostering conversation rather than ending it.
