Buzz TWXster INSISTS: "News is a conversation. Let's say that again and etch it in brass: News is a conversation." Etching it in brass or on stone or having God rearrange the stars to spell it out won't change the truth: News is DICTATION. It's people telling us how to think and what to buy. It's a tidal wave of words, a force of nature no army of electronic peashooters can fight. It's a kazillion-dollar industry, evil brother of another kazillion-dollar industry, that broaches no criticism, that admits to no wrong, that just by existing is inalterably right. NEWS IS DICTATION.
