Sounders staff and players reflect on the first half

Yellowstone has been suffering from an unusual cluster of small earthquakes over 4 days. Yellowstone happens to sit over a 15,000 cubic km caldera that erupts every 600,000 years or so, and last erupted 640,000 years ago.

An eruption at the scale of that last major eruption (the Lava Creek eruption) would cover most of the US in a blanket of ash and plunge the earth into years of unbroken winter as a sulfuric cloud blocked out the sun.

Good times!

My take? The winners in the Internet publishing business will be those who write with deep knowledge and committed passion for the topics that they cover. Given that few areas of life stand completely unaffected by elected government, every beat will have some political element. A journalist's job is to investigate and to report on controversies, including political ones. It's ridiculous to believe that their reporting is not going to ever lead them to conclude that certain parties' or certain candidates' positions are better for their audience than others'.

If that's the case, those journalists' reporting would be incomplete -- even misleading -- if it did not acknowledge and explain the reasons for those conclusions.

Asking journalists to remain silent on politics cheats readers by promoting the idea that a well-informed, "objective" source will have nothing to say about which candidates for elected office offer the best hope for a community. If a reporter's got nothing to say, why should anyone read him/her?
