Christensen reading: "Unlearning the myths..."

We didn't have time in class to do justice to the question of what is gained and lost when one reads traditional folklore vs innovations ("fakelore").

In particular, I'm curious to hear people's responses to the Christensen article. What do people think? Does mass media create and maintain stereotypes? If so, what should be our response? What questions or dilemmas does the article raise for you?
