The news used to be about what happened outside of the news room. Now it’s all about what’s happening inside of the news room, and I don’t care about that.
Plus ça change…“I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper. If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter—we never need read of another.”—Henry David Thoreau
