Welcome To Tony Palmeri's Media Rants! I am a professor of Communication Studies at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I use this blog to try to promote critical thinking about mainstream media, establishment politics, and popular culture.

Wisconsin Woman Seeks Conscientious Objector Status
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (registration required) tells the story of Katherine Jashinski, a 23-year-old soldier from Wautoma seeking conscientious objector status so as to get discharged from the Army. The saddest part of the story is the fact the Ms. Jashinski appears to be receiving no support from her father and only grudging support from her mother. They ought to listen to John Brown by Bob Dylan.
I teach Communication Studies (First Amendment, Classical Rhetoric, Civic Engagement, Rhetoric of Rock Music) at UW Oshkosh. Served two terms on Oshkosh City Council. Originally from Brooklyn, NY.
