The Modern Mythocracy

I just picked up Why America’s Top Pundits Are Wrong from a bookstore in SF. I’ve only read the introduction, but so far it looks interesting.

The phrase in this entry’s title, the modern mythocracy, came to me when reading the book. The introduction posits that pundits are modern day mythmakers. It coins the term punditocracy. I, for one, find that mythocracy rolls more easily off the tongue. Also, I’ve such a penchant for alliterative phrases… it sounds so great with modern. Anyway, the modern mythocracy seems like a theme for future weblog entries.

By the way, tune in tomorrow for my favorite alliterative phrase I’ve come up with.
