with all the 'bad press' about the BAD PRESS.. I heard this on tv this AM:

(From Father Knows Best when Bud got a job at a newspaper and got a lecture from the boss about what a newspaper is):

"A newspaper is the mirror of Man. It's his conscious and his crusader. It dries his tears for him and laughs at his jokes. It shouts out his triumphs and records his failures. It brings him into the world and buries him. Finally to its own death carried out as garbage."

its best if you read it with sappy background violin music. But you get the idea.
