Social and Political Commentary
After founding Melted Reel Online, Mark Casey was hired on as a columnist for his hometown newspaper, the Hendricks County Flyer. Almost immediately, his columns were picked up for syndication nationally by companies such as the Georgetown Media Group in Washington D.C., as well as several others.
Despite having the option of being distributed by large syndication agencies, Casey has at various times expressed his desire for independence and self-determination, saying on his website, "I have a great respect for individual papers. As such, I prefer to keep my fees low, and to forge real relationships with my editors -- that’s why I have chosen not to be processed through a syndication service."

Famous quotes containing the words social, political and/or commentary:
“The social kiss is an exchange of insincerity between two combatants on the field of social advancement. It places hygiene before affection and condescension before all else.”
—Sunday Correspondent (London, Aug. 12, 1990)
“... whatever men do or know or experience can make sense only to the extent that it can be spoken about. There may be truths beyond speech, and they may be of great relevance to man in the singular, that is, to man in so far as he is not a political being, whatever else he may be. Men in the plural, that is, men in so far as they live and move and act in this world, can experience meaningfulness only because they can talk with and make sense to each other and to themselves.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Lonely people keep up a ceaseless flow of commentary on themselves.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
