How apt that even as Peter Jennings was dying, our
InkyDinkyDooDoo cretins banged the following ABOVE THE MASTHEAD with their FISTS:
T. O. TICKS OFF THE FANSWe neglected the
FRED FLINTSTONES OF PRINT the other day only because so many are on TV. That said, when Jennings took over from Frank Reynolds people still took the news biz seriously. But about that time the
SOBs saw a platform for MARKETING, and it's been MARKETING EVER SINCE. That we don't take the network anchormen as seriously is because we don't take the news as seriously, and we don't take the news as seriously because so much of it is ADVERTISING.
