"Notes from the Beloit Bubble?"

“The Beloit Bubble” is a famed, imaginary boundary that surrounds the students of Beloit College and disconnects them from the world beyond their campus. Students at Beloit College often complain about the limited information they receive from the outside world. This blog, run by two Beloit College students, has taken on the ambitious goal of popping a tiny hole in the Beloit Bubble.

Through a daily analysis of political stories circulating through the media, and analysis of the media itself, we hope to better inform ourselves, and others, about political happenings, with a special focus on the 2008 presidential election.

We hope that you find our analysis to be intelligent, interesting, and informative. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or criticisms on our posts. We would appreciate feedback, and encourage discussion on our posts. If there is an issue that you are interested in, or would like to see us discuss, simply send us an e-mail, or leave us a comment.

“I am entirely persuaded that the American public is more reasonable, restrained and more mature than most of our industry's program planners believe. Their fear of controversy is not warranted by the evidence. I have reason to know, as do many of you, that when the evidence on a controversial subject is fairly and calmly presented, the public recognizes it for what it is--an effort to illuminate rather than to agitate.” –Edward Murrow at RTNDA Convention, October 15, 1958
