Lots of Manure in "Moo"?
Terry of Summa Mommas reviews Jane Smiley's funny "Moo". I read it about seven years ago (before my reversion) and I doubt I would like it now as much as I did then. I've become thinner-skinned regarding bias against Christians and conservatives. The environment has become so polarized that "I see bias" (say like "I see dead people" in "The Sixth Sense") everywhere, and often enough there is bias. The NY Times, for example, has changed radically. Nostalgia creeps in when you read the Times praising Pius XII.
Recent books have convincingly made the case for liberal bias in the mainstream media, so we're more knowledgeable in how bias is exercised. Ignorance may not be bliss but being unaware does allow you to read without blood pressure fluctuations.
