Inspired by Jessica McBride's creative use of language, to wit:
"Good for Mark Green... whallah, by midday Doyle was following his lead...." Committed to the monitoring of the local right-wing media and exposing their lies, hypocrisies, and foibles, so that you don't have to.

moderated
adjective
1. having elements or qualities mixed in proper or suitable proportions; especially, made less severe. Contrasted with harsh
2. in blogging, the usually temporary state between leaving a comment at McBride's Media Matters and when the comment is approved by the site-owner. I’m still being moderated. (Depending on the comment, moderated can be a permanent state. The comment never showed up; I was moderated.) Also, see Sykes.
Is it possible to be moderated by the immoderate?
ReplyDeleteAn observant, but bashful, reader emailed me this comment:
ReplyDeleteModerate - Isn't that what the Gov't of Pakistan is doing now?
Maybe Sykes and McBride should explain.
