All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced upon them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else..
Journalists follow authority as sharks follow a liner, dining on the scraps that are thrown overboard.

I was a finalist for the Pulitzer as a reporter.
I wanted to be a journalist because I like to ask questions. And I like the idea that someone might feel responsible for answering them.

Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.
