"Let's speak frankly here - journalism is, at the moment, one of the most corrupt, shameless, manipulative, arrogant, out of control, celebrity-choked travesties in any industry anywhere. I would no more trust its luminaries to guard my flow of information than I would trust Oprah to guard my Twinkie stash. Some things are too stupid to even consider."

Dayummm, will that fit into a tag-line?

...good-un, Bill. ;^)

A bump to you Landru, for spotting bill's best-of-the-bunch!
It's been a long time since anyone cared about our Detroit newspapers, ~ I remember sometime back when detnews.com announced they were going to try to be more honest in the future! That one still cracks me up!

They, the 'detroit news' recently changed their website - it is actually better. But I've been waiting for the chance to tell you all, - it seems like they fired all the editors.

I browse the frontpage & sports almost daily and can't believe the glaring errors in punctuation & grammar a 3rd grader armed with spell check wouldn't miss.

Competing with "professionals" like this, it's no wonder newspapers are falling to citizen journalists in droves. It won't be long till they really are all gone, but they're more to blame than anyone else.
