Yesterday's web cast  TYT , with Cenk of the The Young Turks, gave one of the best run down on the issues involved in the Pastor Terry Jones stunt. TYT is a good web news outlet. The folks at TYT do a good job.

Mr. Jones is the pastor of a tiny Florida church (membership all of fifty people) who has drawn mucho attention to himself, by saying that he is determined to go ahead with a plan to burn the Quran, despite opposition from around the world, and warning and threat from wack jobs, some even more wacked than himself. See the video.

As for the media at-large -- It is amazing how one wack job can attract so many other wack jobs by stepping into, and by stepping up, a hot button issue, and it is amazing how quick this media is to build nothing into something that is not good, because this media has to fill its space and time. And more -- has to feed an audience to be fed dollars Often, what this media offers for those dollars is rage, outrage and the outrageous. The goal is to get dollars not to give nourishment or substance. When one sees an outfit like TYT at work, one must give ones appreciation.
