Evan Coyne Maloney, first famous for Protesting the Protesters, still video blogs at >bt: brain terminal:
Brain Terminal, launched in August of 2001, seeks to provide thoughtful analysis of the various political, social, economic and technological trends that affect our daily lives. Although you may not always agree with what you read here, we hope to at least make you think.
One of the things you’ll notice first about articles on Brain Terminal is that they contain strong opinions presented unapologetically. We don’t strive to be controversial for its own sake, but at the same time, we will not shy away from an argument that needs to be made.
And, unlike the major media, we do not profess to be without political bias. Every article contains a definite bias, because every author looks at the world through his or her own eyes. To claim to be without bias borders on outright fraud, because the only purpose of such a claim is to trick the audience into unwittingly digesting opinions that are packaged as fact.
We believe that consumers of news and opinion must be cognizant of the biases of the various media outlets they use. Regular readers of Brain Terminal will become aware of the biases of the editor, and this is a good thing, because it will make them smarter consumers of the opinions presented here. We don’t hide our beliefs, we trumpet them.
Although we won’t tell you what to think, we’ll be happy to give you plenty of suggestions!
