...interesting though unintended critique that can be taken from Joe Dirt is an implicit judgment on over-aggressive media and the popular voyeurism in TV shows today. Joe’s personal life is broadcast to millions, his burgeoning fame encourages cameras to violate any semblance of privacy. Additionally, others begin to use Joe for his newfound fame...
Ironically, Palestinians and their supporters seem to see precisely the opposite bias in the media. They claim that the terms in which the news is presented are uneven, degrading to Arabs, not harsh enough for Israel's current hawkish leadership and representative of an implicit bias against Islam in the desire to paint the conflict as a religious war.

The gloom and doom implicit the Democrats' message may, in fact, be more realistic than the goofily optimistic tone Bush likes to set. But, as Reagan-era Democratic veterans should know, reality is often far less appealing to voters than a dose of uncomplicated good cheer...
