In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
In this day and age, it feels as if journalists on both sides of the political divide not only filter the truth through their ideological lens, but expect said lens to form the truth itself as if in conformance to some inviolable narrative. Half-a-century ago, William F. Buckley, Jr. debated the very question of words redefining reality and how it impacts the intertwining of integrity and journalism with Iris Temple, Blanche Cook, Paul Cohen, William Safire, and Tom Wicker.
Until next Friday.
