		McChesney's forms are circular and familiar, the colors mainly based on the elemental tones of blood.
		McChesney achieves a freedom, an easy rhythm, to his work that's best evidenced in this show with the painting Arena #35, a panel that fairly sparkles with the sand laid down as a cool cream base, the forms and colors melded atop subtly bleeding toward and away from each other.
		One wonders why McChesney chose to include this jarring assemblage of gaudily painted bone, hairy sisal fiber and old polyester strips in what is otherwise an elegant capsule of a long and important career.

	De Clarke's Personal Opinion (isn't bisque beautiful?)
		McChesney: Part of the function of professional standards in journalism (and I suspect it works similarly in other professions) is to make journalists oblivious to the sort of compromises they must constantly make.
		McChesney: Obviously, societies can be both capitalist and democratic, but there will always be a tremendous tension between the two and limits on one or the other, or both.
		McChesney: In all the companies that dominate the news media, journalism is rarely more than half of their activities, and often - as in the case of the News Corporation, Disney, or Time Warner - news represents less than 10 percent of their activities and revenues.

		An outspoken critic of corporate media, Robert McChesney is also a professor of communications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

		In 1979, McChesney co-founded The Rocket, a Seattle-based rock magazine that is still going strong (McChesney claims it has the third-largest circulation in its field in the United States).

		McChesney strongly argues that the media is the one industry most closely connected to the democratic health of the nation, because a democracy functions best when the citizens are well informed.
		McChesney is also an outstanding political scientist, as he competently analyzes all sides of communications politics, from America's long-standing democratic traditions to our current ruinous domination by neoliberalism (economics) and neoconservatism (politics).
		McChesney tells us the same distressing story beginning at the introduction of radio through the launching of the Internet: the utopian promise of an enabled, informed citizenry using their community-owned bandwidth to inaugurate a new and glorious day of political engagement.

	"Rich Media, Poor Democracy" by Robert McChesney - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It's in regard to this last notion that McChesney's new book, "Rich Media, Poor Democracy" -- a meticulously researched, relentlessly argued, wonderfully populist rallying cry for media reform -- is a welcome departure from the media criticism we have come to know.
		Time magazine's excellent three-part series in the fall of 1998 about corporate welfare is both an example of what the press is capable of and an increasingly rare exception to the new rule dictating a near flout when it comes to reporting on labor issues or the inner workings of corporate America.
		And yet, surprisingly, McChesney found most of the revelations in "Rich Media, Poor Democracy" in the mainstream media, for the business pages of newspapers and magazines regularly report on what is really happening in our world.
