Media Matters
Ehrenreich, Barbara | October 23, 1995 issue

The article focuses on persons who are in the media focus. A tremor passes through the collective sub-brain that one knows as the media. Surely Francis Fukuyama should be called in to comment, for one has-come to the end of Orenthal J. Simpson trial, which is the end, if not of history, certainly of news as readers have known it-meaning the view through a camera facing down the long row of lawyers toward the classic features of the defendant himself. A few O.J. Simpson-generated celebrities, like Greta Van Susteren and Kato Kaelin, have come out with their own talk shows, but one strains to imagine what they will talk about. Enter Gen Colin Powell, with a media buildup rivaling the Gulf War itself.
