A Shafer Classic
Dead-on:
I wonder whether the media grievers
gave a moment of thought to how this Russert torrent they produced
played with viewers and readers. Did the grievers really think Russert
was so important, so vital to the nation's course, and such an elevated
human being that he deserved hour upon hour of tribute? I wonder
whether any of the responsible journalists paused to think, Hey,
this is really weird. We're using our unchecked editorial power to soak
the nation with our tears about our friend, and that's unseemly!
On days like this, I, too, hate the press.
On days like this, I love Jack Shafer.
