The Providence Journal stands accused of hubris in its arrogant campaign to over-vilify the ex-mayor of Providence, Vincent " Buddy " Cianci . Nobody on the left will suspect Cianci of being a champion of the " underclass " or an enemy of capitalism. Do the Fountain St. editors view this rogue politician from the heights of moral integrity ? The McJournal -no more than its old owners-pays any attention to the routine injustice of capitalism. Nor will they take note of the Republican war on science-giving as much space to anti-climate change charlatans as hack diatribes against the " criminal " Cianci.
The public does believe in the Judeo-Christian concept of redemption. Perhaps Ayn Rand- of " The Virtue of Selfishness " fame- would also reject a " Buddy " politician as too independent of our oh- so- moral economic elite ? For them- naturally- the world in which THEY are on top is the best of all possible worlds.
Like a Julius Caesar, " Buddy " Cianci might at least try to please the masses of Providence, R.I. At least a program of Bread & Circuses ? Better than nothing !
