I’m glad someone remembered that it’s Flag Day, though you wouldn’t know it from the MSM. I didn’t find any reference to it in the Washington Post or the NY Times (no surprise there), the Christian Science Monitor had an article in the kids’ section, and USA Today had a sports section story. A Nexis search finds only 42 hits for today, most in papers out in the real world, like the Lexington, Ky., Herald-Leader or the Aberdeen, S.D., American News. When I lived in Chicago 30-plus years ago, I remember the Tribune still had a flag on its masthead – I assume that’s gone, presumably because displaying the flag would inaccurately suggest that journalists were Americans rather than outside observers. Post-Americanism proceeds apace.
