Cf DK's post on Hersh,
"...That is the legacy of the new tradition of investigative reporting as an end in itself, not designed to uncover a specific abuse or serve the greater good...." DK
Great stuff.
(Lorch) Newspaper Editor's retort to assembled Scholars:
"Don't you know what the newspaper business is all about, you bloody fool...For the past ten minutes you've been trying to make me out as some kind of hideous ogre devoid of any shred of social consciousness.
"You act as though you think the job of a newspaper is to be an educational institution for the masses.
"Education is your job, not mine.
"I run a business. That business is to make money. My stock in trade is something called 'news'. It isn't really news all the time-- it's entertainment in the guise of news quite often.... I am not going to print educational stuff that'll put me in the poor house."
