Legacy Journal: Mormonism, Coal, and New Hampshire Polls

Section:

Politics

Summary:

“We live in the midst of alarms; anxiety beclouds the future; we expect some new disaster with each newspaper we read.” ---- Abe Lincoln.


image

Mitt Romney is drawing media attention in New Hampshire. One New Hampshire newspaper editorial has labelled him a phoney, a nytimes reporter, Noah Feldman, is compelled to ask provocative questions and then call attention to Mormon polygamy and the “ idiocycracy” of clean living by avoiding tobacco, caffeine and alcohol. Does he also consider the lack of gambling and lotteries in Utah (and Hawai) as troublesome as the Judaic kosher food tradition?  In addition, Romney is also enviromental “inconvenient”.  He calls for a national energy stategy that includes liquid coal, increasing the supply of heating oil by building refinery capacity, and investing in nuclear energy.  The voters of New Hampshire are concerned about the winter price and availability of fuel oil, and the future costs of electricity.

Main:

The good news is that the media, including the press, is much more restrained than in the political days of Lincoln and cartoonist Thomas Nast.  Journalism is also sophisticated, subtile, and scientific in the arts of advertising, influencing, and choice making

* For example, GMA today reported from New Hampshire on a mind mapping “truth” gizmo that records a graphic image of emotional responses to messages and images of events, products, and people.  Is this the new brave world of political “science”?

** One of the world’s most costly construction project will be done by a Canadian firm.  It is a gas pipeline from the north to the hub in Calgary, Alberta.

*** Meanwhile, fear mongering, narrow mindedness and group think is alive and well in the free, but not cheap, mass media.
