Ted Rall, whose career Nathan accurately described as evidence the universe is fundamentally unfair ( twice !), has a funny relationship with facts. Specifically, he doesn’t use them, and has made a name for himself as an “expert” on Central Asia despite lying like Natalie Portman’s character in the terrible Zach Braff film Garden State . Like when he described post-Akaev Kyrgyzstan as “ disintegrated into chaos, anarchy and warlordism ” (remember all those post-2005 Kyrgyz warlords?), or that the region is filled with food that was “ Sawdust, mixed with urine .” Have any of you visited that Central Asia? I certainly haven’t—while the place was certainly poorer than San Diego, and sometimes the water didn’t work, my brief stay there was so incredibly pleasant and enjoyable I have since made the professional study of Central Asia my career. The food was incredible (my God I still crave good shashlyk and manti sometimes), and the people incredibly friendly and open. In short, I feel in love with the place; Rall seemed to exploit its poverty as a career springboard. His treatment of Afghanistan is similar. In fact, flipping through one of his three tedious books on the country, I could turn almost at random to any page and point out factual inaccuracies about the place. It is telling he never quotes western or American interviewees by name—only semi-anonymous Afghans and officials quoted from news wires have real identities. This is becau ...

An article I found in the Maui Time Weekly explores the trouble newspapers are in. The following excerpt contains some rather strong advice from author Ted Rall: …First: newspapers should go offline. If the last decade has proven anything, it’s that you can’t charge for a product–in this case, news–that you give away. So stop! All [...] ...

Ted Rall writes in his column this week that newspapers could save themselves if they “take three audacious but absolutely essential steps, the print newspaper industry can save itself.” Those steps include: 1. taking newspapers offline, 2. copyrighting all articles they write, and 3. cut off the wire services. All of these steps, he argues [...] ...

It's almost cute when long-time newspaper columnists with almost no grounding in basic economics try to come up with plans to "save" the newspaper industry. It almost always ends up demanding some form of collusion, government bailout or a complete suppression of basic economics. Sometimes all three. We've seen ideas where newspapers would team up to collude on ad prices . We've seen (many, many times) the idea that newspapers should collude to charge for all content online, and we've seen demands that newspapers should just get money from the government . Even better, some have demanded that Google somehow fund or just outright buy newspapers. The latest to jump into the fray of ridiculous suggestions on how to "save" newspapers is political cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall . Reader "parsko" points us to a new Ralls column where he makes three suggestions on how to save the newspaper industry -- except that I'm half wondering if this is pure satire. Because his three suggestions seem more likely guaranteed to kill the newspaper industry even faster than just sitting still. Of course, the reason he gets it so wrong is he so badly misunderstands basic economics as the underpinning of his argument: All three of my suggestions are predicated on the simplest principle of capitalism: scarcity increases demand. Newspapers have made news free and plentiful, which is why they're going broke. Apparently, Ralls has never looked at a supply/dema ...
