Chris Hedges is a journalist and author who's work focuses on American and Middle Eastern societies. His writing has appeared in The Christian Science Monitor, National Public Radio, The Dallas Morning News and The New York Times. Today I am linking to two pieces Hedges recently released.
The first is on America's illiteracy and how it relates to politics. Hedges explains how we have gone from a print based society to an image based society and how this impacts our country and its future.
The second is on the growing third party movements in the United States. It seems almost inevitable that a third party movement will grow out of the failure of Obama's presidency. Hedges asks weather this movement will be based in left or right wing ideologies.
