WHY? JERNALISM: I have not commented on
a certain blessed event because I couldn't care less about super-rich weirdos, and I'm sick of hearing about Scientology, especially through a haze of forced "nonjudgmentalism." Yet the story has all but paralyzed the nation's luxury news suites for days. Then there's
this choice hunk of tripe, whose 1,054 EGREGIOUS WORDS prove the obvious when they're not meant to upset a put-upon reader. How much do the suites waste their time on such bilge? On the other hand the P-Ulitzers just made
a COURAGEOUS STATEMENT, and if the press stopped running one kind of bilge it would merely run another. (Sorry for the Jonny Hairshirt.)
P. S.
PINCH'S NEW ENGLAND EDITION, I don't think I'd have used that title: it only reminds us of THE CARTOON RIOTS, and that there is ONE THING MOST NEWS HACKS WILL NEVER PRINT.
P. P. S. Pinch's pile of unprintable is another of those the-more-I-think-about-it-the-angrier-I-get pieces. We know
THE CONSPIRACY's running from the newspapers faster than the Road Runner ever ran from its mentor Wile E. Coyote. Is this a backhanded way of saying we'll loosen up if you promise to stuff our pockets?
