If you want to watch a discussion in a bubble, watch this “roundtable” of talking heads on San Diego’s KPBS. Whether the subject is immigration or climate change, it’s an echo chamber that is far removed from the rest of the country.
Some facts and opinions won’t penetrate the membrane. Fact: Science is not a primer for the pet ideologies of California’s governing class. Fact: The debate over “climate change” is robust and certainly not settled. Fact: The value of so-called sustainables (energy) is not all positive. Anyway, how can we honestly evaluate them while they are heavily subsidized, protected by a cocoon of regulation, and alternatives are bashed into pulp? Fact: California’s nullification of immigration law is blatantly unconstitutional. We fought the Civil War over that issue. California’s position lost.
This kind of insular discussion can only occur in a cloistered MAS – mutual admiration society – that is a PBS studio on the California coast.
