Teddy Roosevelt…A politics lost to the age of electronic media
After three episodes of The Roosevelts on PBS, I find beginnings myself mourning what we’ve lost in our part of history. Due in no small part to the “Hollywood-ization” of politics wrought by electronic media, Theodore Roosevelt would be “unelectable” today. As Ken Burns told Jon Stewart in his Daily Show interview Monday night this week, “He’d have 10 Howard Continue Reading
