...media adopt the position of an "honest referee - keeping score, throwing flags when a team plays fast and loose with the facts, explaining to the audience what's happening on the field and why." In an issue as complex as climate change, the country badly needs smart, fair umpires, and the media can play that role. But the wave of cutbacks and closings that have hit the American media could make that all but impossible. Referees need to know the game cold, and climate change demands day-in, day-out experience from dedicated reporters. But a dwindling few media outlets...
...feels like big companies are doing more than their fair share of letting employees go these days, that's not just because mass layoffs at blue chip firms are the ones that make headlines. New research suggests that in times of recession, large employers disproportionately lose workers, while small companies, as a group, fare better. "It's definitely the case that large firms are downsizing much faster in recessions," says Giuseppe Moscarini, an economist at Yale University who conducted the research with Fabien Postel-Vinay of the University of Bristol...

Attempts at symbolism in the movie are also heavy-handed. The rain, for instance, is referenced by Joon on multiple occasions as a representation of life, hope, and happiness. One of the movie?...
...trial of a chief of state. A strongman accused of committing horrific crimes, and not even in his own country, but one next door. It's being held at the crossroads of international justice, in the Hague. And we're showing that we can do it in a fair and transparent manner. That sends a signal to every chief of state in the world. This is not some guy down the pecking order. We were not able to finish with Milosevic [who died mid-trial]. This is international justice on trial. And we are working very hard to ensure that...
