The Real Media Secret That JournoList Reveals

By on 3.27.09 @ 8:21AM

Think "Woodward and Bernstein bring down Nixon," only replace "Woodward and Bernstein bring down Nixon" with "A bunch of guys who were beaten up daily in junior high show why they almost certainly had it coming."

Dead on target. A plague of neurasthenia has wussified the news business.
