...number of issues.First and foremost, its important to address who is making the show. Unlike “ER,” “House” was created by a layman, David Shore, and although the show is purportedly inspired by medical columns from The New York Times and The New Yorker, it isn’t exactly clear on what distant reality the show is based. Unlike in “ER,” where innumerable patients must be treated at a moment’s notice, House is able to spend days diagnosing one patient...
...York commuters exited subways and turned street corners Nov. 12 to be greeted by friendly hawkers all over the city handing out copies of the New York Times.

When Republicans call Nancy Pelosi a "San Francisco liberal" or derisively refer to Upper West Side and Cambridge lefties, they tag those Democrats as ideologically extreme and culturally élitist. Politicians from Chicago can be just as liberal as those from New York, New England and California, but they come from the much-fetishized heartland, which makes attacks on them a tougher sell to swing voters. And they have an advantage within the Democratic base as well: while party leaders have long assumed that only a Southerner could successfully take the White House...
