If you've seen Dobbs on TV, you know he has a British accent and droll delivery. So I fell out of my chair laughing at this one:
| Quote: | Greenbelt, Md.: In 100 words or less, justify the smothering press coverage of this bush-league smear job.
I've now joined the great apathetic majority now thanks to the focus on this self-absorbed baby-boomer garbage. Kerry shares the blame for basing his campaign on stuff from five or six wars ago, but the press is even worse. Other than endlessly stroking the most selfish generation's ego, what does any of this have to do with electing a president?
Michael Dobbs: You seem to be interested enough in this story to engage in an on-line conversation about it... |
(Whack!) Dobbs elaborates "I think that the public interest in this story illustrates the hold that Vietnam continues to exercise on the public imagination, three decades after the war ended. In addition, I feel that a serious newspaper like the WP has an obligation to independently examine claims and allegations that are being debated on every talk show in the nation. There are some things that newspapers can do better than TV talk shows, and this is one of them."
Well said.
