So once again, this article proves the European press is actually reporting news. As opposed to the American press who have become so used to being fed the news, they don't go out and find the news anymore. And I've decided, there's no conspiracy to think about. The cause of most things can be explained by too much laziness and too much stupidity - or both.

An interesting take on television news. My friend Arnot and I would spend hours arguing about the newspaper v. television news relationship. (He worked for ABC News and I was reporting for some small publication or another.) He always thought I was a little whacked. Reading this article reminded me of how much I miss him.
