Opinionated Reactions
In a 2000 interview by Cspan distinguished Yale Professor, Harold Bloom, breaks down the importance of reading and discusses the culture wars of the modern American ethos. Bloom, a long time Democratic, warns his fellow intellectuals that the end may soon be over if the society over looks the past for the present. An interview with insight from a man with great hindsight. Bloom is no stranger to telling the truth as he sees it and because of that he has remained a figurehead of the intellectual revolution. One of America’s greatest continues to hold that titles true.

The Firing Line, hosted by William F. Buckley, aired from 1966-99. Currently (2020) it has been 54 years since the first episode aired and 21 years since the airing of the last episode. The era which found Buckley as a figurehead for intellectual discourse is dead. He has died and so has the generation that birthed and inspired him. Buckley built an image and reputation of being an intellectual sparing partner for any mind that was brought to him. Not only a partner, but one that many put money on to be the winner. Buckley wasn’t always right and didn’t always win, but if he was wrong it was a challenge to prove it and if he lost many may have not even noticed it. Buckley was a master of words, a man who could talk sentences around everyone who was listening to him. But for some reason people listened. People listened to him because they were learning from him, and his guests. No matter who the guest, the listener learned a new way to better approach an important understanding of the world. Theology, linguistics, philosophy, economics, politics, culture, the mind was always forward moving when listening to him and his guest discuss the world at large.
Buckley has been dead since 2008 and many people have asked who will be the next? Apparently PBS has decided to take on the answering of that question by telling the American people that person is Margret Hoover. Hoover is best known (somewhat known) as being a CNN contributor and being on The View. She is as well the granddaughter to President Herbert Hoover. There is something unsettling about the raising of the dead. The raising of Firing Line. To know the legacy and to be able to fill the shoes of Buckley is an overwhelming thought for anyone who is familiar with the show and the man. And for any one person to confidently say, or think, “Firing Line should be brought back to life and I can host it”, is a moron. Firing Line and Buckley are dead and gone. The world moves on and another great mind will come along the way. But this is done through time, history continuing itself, not by some television executive. What Hoover and PBS has done is create a Frankenstein. A grotesque monster. (And before the reader may have the thought of smugly thinking, “Frankenstein was the doctor”. You are a genius). Hoover is a talking head, media doofus. But the most egregious act is the fact that the show is with one hand shoving Buckley’s name down the audiences throat while with the other hand it waves a white flag with the inscription, “Firing Line with Margret Hoover has no connection to William F. Buckley Jr.’s Firing Line. This program was produced by FL2 LLC, which is solely responsible for its content”.
That quote is the last thing that flashes on the screen at the end of the show. (For your convenience I’ve put that banner at the beginning of this YouTube video) Margret Hoover should have stayed on CNN or gotten a full time seat at The View. Instead she survives off of the namesake of the dead, while trying to claim originality and independent thought. Never has she asked a question that is hard hitting. Never has she seemed informed. Never has she shown a level of higher thinking. She is not a classic intellectual, she is a talking head that talks about nothing. This is why she can get important people on the show, they aren’t going to say anything damning with her taking the wheel. The audience can listen to two people discuss nothing new, nothing insightful, nothing revealing, nothing captivating, nothing provoking, and go along with their daily lives, all the while believing they have been informed and are now better off because of it. Never has this show challenged the mind of the audience, and never should it. The mainstream media doesn’t want you to think about anything so they choose to talk about nothing. There is no reason to. However it is getting harder to abide by their own laws of motion. The Mainstream media is eating itself. But now it is eating the dead. Only they don’t see it. They don’t understand that there is another world out there providing information, asking questions, doing research. William F Buckley and the Firing Line will be reincarnated, but not by PBS and Margret Hoover. And whichever form it comes in will be by another name and certainly not Margret Hoover.
*disclaimer.
These are just opinions. I have no way of knowing if anything which I just said was true. Truth is subjective and the nature of reality cannot be expressed justly. It could very well be the case that Margret Hoover does a fantastic job at filling the role of Buckley and the world is a better place because of it. This is speculation and conjecture meant to serve as entertainment.

Modernism is an idea that have been slipping through the cracks since the turn of the 20th century. Now, there is no more crack to slip though and in turn it has created a great canyon to carves it’s way through. This canyon being culture itself. This video breaks down the origin of the thought that has spread its way into current thinking. While many people go by believing we are in a Postmodern age (or a Post Post-Modern age), without truly understanding where Modern thinking really comes from and what it means to be a Modern thinker. Modernism has been slowly creeping into the vernacular of thought while seldom people understand the definition of that thought is truly expressing. People are speaking a language they do not comprehend and sadly are not aware of their own misunderstandings.
Arthur O. Lovejoy is the father of Modern thinking and expressed his school of thought through the book, “The Great Chain of Being: The history of an Idea”. It has taken some time for this understanding to root itself into American and Western thought, but now America and the Western World is experiencing the after affects of this thought stronger than it is experiencing anything else. This train of thought made it easy for nihilism and relativistic thinking to break through into cultures and the minds of innocent and unsuspecting individuals.
The Western World and Judeo-Christian thought was built upon the Platonic understanding of The Great Chain of Being. This thought is not only attributable to Western thought, its implications have found value in Egyptian and Turkish belief systems as well. But the West find it’s roots truly in the Platonic reasoning. the Great Chain is linked with the good at the top of the and humans find themselves linked together though as well in an understood position which is lesser than the good itself. Lovejoy and the persuasion of Modernism has replaced the top chain of the good with humans. The good is no longer that which holds the top tier. Lovejoy and his contemporaries can be found at the root of Western division.
