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 and, social, political and/or commentary:
“I am heartily tired of this life of bondage, responsibility, and toil. I wish it was at an end.... We are both physically very healthy.... Our tempers are cheerful. We are social and popular. But it is one of our greatest comforts that the pledge not to take a second term relieves us from considering it. That was a lucky thing. It is a reform—or rather a precedent for a reform, which will be valuable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“[When asked: “Will not woman suffrage make the black woman the political equal of the white woman and does not political equality mean social equality?”:] If it does then men by keeping both white and black women disfranchised have already established social equality!”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behaviour perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Lonely people keep up a ceaseless flow of commentary on themselves.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
