“The shocking truth about journalists . . . is that we are simply lazy. And often intoxicated.”
— Marty Beckerman, in his new book, Dumbocracy
Hunter S. Thompson once called Beckerman a “morbid little bastard.” He forgot to add insane, obscene and sacrilegious. Marty’s a friend of mine, but as a journalist, I have to be objective about the guy.
