Guest suggestion: Susan Jacoby on American Culture

Susan Jacoby would make a great author interview for The Daily Show.

Via NYT: “Whether watching television news, consulting political blogs or (more rarely) reading books, Americans today have become a people in search of validation for opinions that they already hold,” Susan Jacoby, the author of “The Age of American Unreason,” writes on the op-ed page of The Los Angeles Times. “This absence of curiosity about other points of view is the essence of anti-intellectualism and represents a major departure from the nation’s best cultural traditions.”

Also includes comment on Thomas Frank's editorial on Obama. More on Jacoby from the Mercury News.
