Very big business is in bed with very big government in Washington, and has more to do with what the average person sees, hears and reads than most people know.
I quote the late Ed Murow. ... He said: 'Look, people listen to me when they want an eyewitness account. 'They think I'm a pretty good reporter. But when it comes to my opinions, mine are not worth anymore than the guy at the end of the bar.' And I believe that about myself.
There is no doubt that the way journalism worked when I was growing up and getting started has changed forever.
