I've been looking for a good term for the degradation of public debate that's occured in NL over the last few years. I've finally found one.
Chris Buckley, son of US conservative great Bill Buckley, has resigned from The National Review, the conservative magazine founded by his father. After he endorsed Obama, he and the publication have been flooded with vitriolic, vicious reaction from the US right.
His conclusion: "(it's) part of the calcification of modern discourse".
It's a good line.
