They [the small circle of folks that make the major nets and the cable news shows] are all like characters in some Sinclair Lewis novel. It's all unthinking boosterism, all the news faces are Babbits of various form. All suffer that fierce sense of belonging to that inner circle of cogniscenti and one opinion gets fixed in it, they all beleive it as written on stone before the flood. Oh! The bondage of belonging to the media perosnality elite!
