br> Re Kenneth E. Grubbs Jr.'s A Free Journalist : /p> p>Grubbs says that "the prevalent attitude still, after years of complaints, lost circulation, and decreased market share, is that newswriting can only justify itself if it leads to 'change.'" Hasn't this, since time immemorial, been the raison d'être of newspaper journalism? Why are conservatives ever amazed that the vast majority of newspapermen tilt left? And why are liberals ever amazed at the popularity of talk radio, the counter-balance to the auto-activism of newspaper journalism? br> -- Jeffrey S. Erickson br> Davidson, North Carolina /p> p> Excellent review! I will pick up a copy of John Stossel's book on my way home from work tonight. Reminds me of a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, back when he was much funnier than he is today: "Objective journalism is a pompous contradiction in terms." br> -- Joel Natzke br> Kansas City, Missouri
