Another manifestation of Howellism (besides QUAGMIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, plagiarism and an obsession over hoity-toity country clubs) is its high-end philistinism. You see it in the endless eggheadish quotes about Nietzsche applied to the Columbine movies. So yes, news hacks bear responsibility for the dumbing-down of our culture. (Alas, the author undercuts his argument by blaming everybody [and therefore nobody] and by bringing up that @#$%&* Iraqi MUSEUM again.)
