Quote of the Day

Phil Bronstein, writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, about the love affair the press has with our new President:

This guy is good. Really good. And, frankly, so far, we're not.

You can't blame powerful people for wanting to play the press to peddle self-perpetuating mythology. But you can blame the press, already suffocating under a massive pile of blame, guilt, heavy debt and sinking fortunes, for being played.

Somebody in the press who sees, and is willing to report, how silly the press has been acting- a rarity.
