From time to time a quote is brought to my attention i share with those around me. this one i found particularly interesting. It will sound very conservative, but anything that addresses the narcissism and ineptitude of the media has my backing.
“It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these journalists/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I’m readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I’ll, in turn, do my best for the cause by writing editorials – after the fact.”
- Robert E. Lee in 1863.
Seems all wars have their share of dipshits in the press.
