Podcasts mirroring headlines of today

Big kerfuffle about journalists conspiring to ignore some political stories to get Obama elected...lots of links at Instapundit.

maybe that's why that story got so little coverage, d'ya think?

Keeping the elite limited to the "right stuff" is nothing new.
Right now, I'm listening to Professor Anderson's discussion of how Catholics were marginalized in 19th century Germany: even if they got into the universities, they couldn't join "fraternities" because dueling was required....
