An article titled: "Good-bye, Public Life"

MUST READ (<-- link) writing called "Good bye, Public Life" by Alec Baldwin a celebrity A human being

The article is not really about Alec Baldwin. I want to say so much about this, but in short, this article is an unedited look at the reality of mass media and the society that creates and consumes it today. In many ways, this writing, I think, is the essence of aesthetic journalism. Putting a mirror to society.
