Yes, you were. You were knocking "The Media." The Media is Lewis
Grizzard, and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune's reporting team, and the
six o'clock newscaster, and your local movie reviewer, and everyone
else involved in any way with information media. If some poor shmuck
chooses to believe everything he sees on "A Current Affair" or reads in
"The National Enquirer," well, that's not "The media"'s fault, it's
the fault of the damn fool who swallows it all in the first place.
Blaming anyhting on "The Media" or lamenting their impact on "the
rest of society" is just plain silly.
