 WL> In general, reporters and their editors/new directors/network

 JH> Maybe like rats deserting a sinking ship?
I was thinking more in terms of the way piranha will turn
on one of their own that's injured and bleeding.  But you
have the general idea.
 JH> Yeah, I'm just not educated about how things really work in our

Consider the old saying about laws and sausages, and be
grateful.  Believe me, knowing more will not help you
sleep at night,

 JH> Either that or end up as the latest addition to the body count.
It might be best not to say that too loudly.
