The crash of Continental Flight 3407 into a home in suburban Buffalo is a massive human tragedy, but it is not one with larger implications for the country. Should the entire news cycle be lost to tragedy while we are in the midst of the debate over the stimulus bill?
The priorities of our news organizations is astounding. Journalism ceased being about "nobility" and has become far more about the fame. That's the irony of "All the President's Men". The reporting by Bernstein and Woodward was impeccable and just, but the movie and the fame ruined a generation of journalists. The goal is no longer to expose the corruption behind power, but to be played by Robert Redford in the movie based on your story.
Well, those two paragraphs were random.
