I thought this essay was great. Maybe it's just partially because it stings my pride, but I hate the view of America that the world has. And it's our fault. American media exemplifies all of the negative American stereotypes--that we are greedy, lazy, selfish and amoral. And the sad truth is that the we are beginning to mirror our media, and vice-versa.
I could talk about a lot of the positive aspects of this essay, but I thought that the conclusion was the strongest. His sentence length variety is perfect--he follows up one long sentence with three brief ones: "Do not surrender. Get mad. Get in the fight."
I loved that. It actually made me want to do something. I think that's the mark of good writing.
